    Author: Voss H, Petersen V, Oelert H, Hauch HJ.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 1982 Jan; 71(1):50-3. PubMed ID: 7064503.
    Abstract:
    Four cases of surgically confirmed traumatic tricuspid insufficiency are presented. There is a characteristic long interval between blunt trauma and onset of cardiac symptoms. Common clinical, radiographic and echocardiographic features of tricuspid insufficiency are described. Cardiac catheterisation and right ventricular angiography confirm the diagnosis and the surgical aspect verifies the traumatic etiology. The indication for surgical treatment by valve replacement is discussed. The results of surgery have been good.
