Repair of Tricuspid Insufficiency Following Blunt Trauma Chest - A Case Report and Review of Literature
نویسندگان
چکیده
Heart valve injuries due to non-penetrating blunt thoracic trauma are rare. Isolated tricuspid incompetence due to detachment of a leaflet from the annulus after blunt trauma is uncommon. Young patients may tolerate chronic tricuspid regurgitation (TR), and can be undiagnosed for years until the right ventricular failure occurs. We report the case of a young adult male who sustained blunt chest trauma resulting in severe tricuspid regurgitation and underwent successful tricuspid valve repair.
