Abstract:
A technique is described for repair of traumatic tricuspid valve insufficiency; it was applied successfully in a young adult with a flail anterior leaflet due to chordal rupture. The technique consists of resuspension of the flail leaflet with autogenous trabecular muscle bundles and additional annuloplasty.
