  • Title: Tricuspid valve regurgitation following blunt thoracic trauma.
    Author: Kleikamp G, Schnepper U, Körtke H, Breymann T, Körfer R.
    Journal: Chest; 1992 Oct; 102(4):1294-6. PubMed ID: 1395792.
    Abstract:
    Valvular lesions following blunt thoracic trauma are uncommon. Tricuspid valve regurgitation occurs very rarely. We report a successful tricuspid valve reconstruction for rupture of the chordae tendineae in a young man nine years after a motor vehicle accident. The value of echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography for the diagnosis and quantification of this valve lesion is stressed.
