  • Title: Post-traumatic tricuspid valve insufficiency. 2 cases of delayed clinical manifestation.
    Author: Bortolotti U, Scioti G, Milano A, Guglielmi C, Benedetti M, Tartarini G, Balbarini A.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 1997; 24(3):223-5. PubMed ID: 9339514.
    Abstract:
    We present 2 cases of tricuspid insufficiency following blunt chest trauma: 1 was diagnosed 5 months after the trauma and the other, 20 years after the trauma. In both patients, the tricuspid valve was replaced with a porcine bioprosthesis, because valve repair was not considered feasible. These cases emphasize the variability of clinical presentation of post-traumatic tricuspid valve insufficiency and indicate the need for close follow-up of patients after major thoracic trauma.
