    Author: Egoh Y, Okoshi T, Anbe J, Akasaka T.
    Journal: Eur J Cardiothorac Surg; 1997 Jun; 11(6):1180-2. PubMed ID: 9237608.
    Abstract:
    Blunt trauma followed by aortic valvular insufficiency is a rare occurence. In one case, a male high-school student who had sustained a non-penetrative chest injury suffered from aortic regurgitation resulting from the rupture of the normal aortic valve. A sizable tear in the non-coronary cusp caused aortic insufficiency. The case was treated successfully by surgical replacement of the aortic valve with a No. 21 SJM prosthesis.
