Traumatic tricuspid regurgitation is a rare complication of blunt chest trauma. With the increase in the number of automobile accidents, traumatic tricuspid regurgitation has become an important problem after blunt chest trauma. It has been reported more frequently because of better diagnostic procedures and a better understanding of the pathology. The early diagnosis of traumatic tricuspid regurgitation is important because traumatic tricuspid injury could be effectively corrected with reparative techniques, early operation is considered to relieve symptoms and to prevent right ventricular dysfunction. Echocardiography can reveal the cause and severity of regurgitation. We experienced a case of tricuspid regurgitation after blunt chest trauma early diagnosis and valve repair were performed. This case reminds the physicians in the emergency department should be aware of this potential complication following non-penetrating chest trauma and echocardiography is useful and should play an early role.

“…Although optimal operation timing is important, it is not uncommon to be diagnosed with tricuspid valve injury after several months to years 1-3)6). Here, we report a case of successful repair of tricuspid valve after early detection of severe traumatic regurgitation following blunt chest trauma.…”

“…Second, the traumatologists were unaware of the clinical possibility of tricuspid valve rupture and did not perform echocardiography. However, echocardiography is the method of choice and should be performed in all patients with chest trauma, in particular if cardiac injury is suspected [23,24]. Third, the patient rapidly adapted to the acute right ventricular volume overload.…”

Tricuspid valve injury causing severe tricuspid regurgitation is the most common cardiac complication following blunt chest trauma. We present four cases with different clinical presentations that included pleural effusion, arrhythmias, cyanosis, peripheral edema and dyspnea, with varying onset of symptoms. Echocardiographic evaluation and intraoperative findings in these patients revealed a broad spectrum of injury to the tricuspid valve including papillary muscle and chordal rupture, chordal elongation and leaflet perforation. Because surgical treatment is required in most patients and since the diagnosis is often delayed, we believe that early echocardiographic evaluation is required in all patients with blunt chest trauma, in particular if clinical symptoms of right heart failure are present.
