  • Title: Traumatic ventricular septal defect with tricuspid incompetence. Surgical treatment.
    Author: Christides C, Laskar M, Virot P, Blanc P, Doumeix JJ, Kim M.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino); 1983; 24(2):175-7. PubMed ID: 6841442.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of traumatic ventricular septal defect associated with tricuspid incompetence after blunt injury of the chest. This case is the third one described in the literature. This case includes several unusual features: (1) the patient was a 52 year old man. Wounds of the heart usually happen to younger people; (2) clinical manifestations were immediately important; (3) there was a left bundle branch block on the electrocardiogram; (4) surgical treatment was performed as an emergency (less than a fortnight after the accident).
