  • Title: Aortic valve tear with severe aortic regurgitation following blunt chest trauma.
    Author: Li W, Ni Y, Chen X, Ma L.
    Journal: J Cardiothorac Surg; 2011 Jun 19; 6():84. PubMed ID: 21682925.
    Abstract:
    An aortic valve tear associated with aortic regurgitation following blunt chest trauma is seldom seen. In this case, a 55-year-old man sustained a non-penetrating chest injury caused by a sudden fall from 10 meters. This led to a sizable tear in the left coronary cusp associated with severe aortic insufficiency. The case was treated successfully by surgical replacement of the aortic valve with a mechanical prosthesis.
