  • Title: Tricuspid insufficiency and interatrial septum rupture: a cause of persistent systemic hypoxemia after blunt chest trauma.
    Author: Pereira J, Oliver JM, Mateos M, Cerrón F, Maseda E, Cabestrero D, Sobrino JA.
    Journal: J Am Soc Echocardiogr; 2000 Jan; 13(1):64-5. PubMed ID: 10625834.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 45-year-old man with severe tricuspid insufficiency and interatrial septum rupture caused by a car accident is described. The patient had a rupture of the anterior papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve and right-to-left shunt through an interatrial defect with severe hypoxemia that was difficult to distinguish from that caused by pulmonary damage. Transesophageal echocardiography was extremely useful for early diagnosis.
