Successful Repair of Tricuspid Regurgitation 46 Years after Causal Blunt Trauma:<i>Case Report</i>

Abstract

Tricuspid regurgitation arising from chest trauma 46 years earlier was successfully corrected by valve reconstruction in a 67-year-old man. As the merits of valve repair are well established, it can be advocated for traumatic tricuspid regurgitation, regardless of the time from the causal injury.
