Abstract
|
|
|
Post-traumatic tricuspid insufficiency is a rare condition and may be clinically silent
and imprecise. The diagnosis may be difficult when it progreses slowly and other acute
lesions exist concomittantly. Two-dimenstional Doppler echocardiography appears to be
an essential procedure in diagnosting the rupture of chordae tendineae or papillary
muscle following traumatic injury. We report a case of tricuspid insufficiency of which
symptom developed 8 years later following a blunt chest trauma. The patient was
operated by tricuspid vlave repair with chordal replacement and ring annuloplasty
successfully. We would like to emphasize that patients sustaining major thoracic trauma
should be carefully examine for possible blunt chest trauma including cardiac valve
rupture or tear.
