Surgical management of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation: a case report
Traumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation requires careful evaluation. Transthoracic echocardiography should be recommended to exclude post-traumatic tricuspid regurgitation after major blunt chest trauma. Early diagnosis is important to avoid right ventricular failure. First-line surgical treatment consists of tricuspid repair by means of ring annuloplasty and implantation of artificial chords.
