  • Title: Severe hypoxemia revealing traumatic tricuspid regurgitation with right-to-left intracardiac shunt.
    Author: Jacob L, Bonnet F, Pavie A, Bousquet JC, Lienhart A, Bourgain JL, Viars P.
    Journal: J Trauma; 1985 Jul; 25(7):659-61. PubMed ID: 4009773.
    Abstract:
    A case of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation immediately following chest trauma in an 18-year-old man is reported. The cardiac lesion was revealed by right-to-left shunt due to the reopening of the foramen ovale leading to hypoxemia exacerbated by controlled ventilation. Early surgical repair led to hypoxemia correction.
