Four Cases of Valvular Diseases Due to Nonpenetrating Cardiac Trauma
Abstract:
During the past 15 years we have managed four patients who suffered isolated valvular lesions from blunt chest trauma. Three patients were injured intraffic accidents and another fell from a height. Injured valves were mitral valves in three patients, tricuspid valves in two and aortic valve in one. One individual had a combination of aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valvular lesions.The procedures performed were mitral valve replacement in 2 patients and mitral repair in one, tricuspid valve replacement in one and repair in one, aortic valve replacement in one. The outcome of those patients were fairly well and all returned to their regular jobs.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
