  • Title: Peri-mitral ventriculoatrial fistula after blunt thoracic trauma.
    Author: Parsaee M, Saedi S, Porkia R.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2018 Jun; 35(6):895-897. PubMed ID: 29691906.
    Abstract:
    Blunt trauma to the chest can damage any thoracic organ. Heart valve damage and particularly mitral apparatus occurs relatively rare, and the patients are expected to become acutely symptomatic. However, in patients with multiple traumas, other dominant severe damages tend to draw away the attention of the physicians resulting in neglect of less salient heart injuries. Here, we present a patient with history of blunt chest trauma and incidental finding of posttraumatic severe mitral regurgitation.
