  • Title: Valve repair with chordal replacement for traumatic tricuspid regurgitation.
    Author: Sugita T, Watarida S, Katsuyama K, Nakajima Y, Yamamoto R, Mori A.
    Journal: J Heart Valve Dis; 1997 Nov; 6(6):651-2. PubMed ID: 9427137.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old woman who had fatiguability due to right heart failure seven years after receiving blunt chest trauma in a road traffic accident presented to our hospital. Preoperative echocardiography revealed severe tricuspid regurgitation resulting from prolapse of the anterior leaflet. The valve was repaired by chordal replacement with expanded polytetrafluoroethylene sutures and DeVega annuloplasty. At three months after surgery, the patient is in good clinical condition, and repeat echocardiography revealed only mild tricuspid regurgitation.
