Tricuspid valve regurgitation management with valve replacement Late
Presentation of Traumatic Tricuspid Valve Regurgitation after Motor
Vehicle Accident -- Role of 3D Echocardiography
Abstract
A 51-year-old unrestrained female driver with history of a high-speed
motor vehicle accident had been followed due to progressively worsening
tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). Three dimensional (3D0
transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a TR jet through a
perforation in the an avulsed anterior leaflet from the tricuspid valve
and another central tricuspid TR jet regurgitation due to tricuspid
leafletresulted from malcoaptation of the leaflets from tricuspid
annulus annular dilatation.
