Abstract:
Isolated tricuspid regurgitation with rupture of the chordae tendinae caused by blunt trauma is uncommon. We present a 20-year-old man who was asymptomatic for four months after a traffic accident, but then developed severe tricuspid regurgitation, caused by rupture of the chordae tendinae. We performed minimally invasive tricuspid valve repair with chordal reconstruction and annuloplasty. We discuss the optimal treatment of traumatic valve insufficiency in a young patient and review the literature.
