Severe Aortic and Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation after Blunt Chest Trauma: An Unusual Presentation

Abstract

•Heart valve injuries resulting in acute valvular insufficiency are rare complications of BCT.•Aortic valve is the most frequently injured valve after BCT.•Severe regurgitation in two different valves within the same patient is extremely rare.•Post-traumatic aortic and mitral regurgitation can lead to rapidly progressing heart failure.•Patients with acute heart failure after BCT should immediately undergo surgical repair.
