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 advocate d for traumatic tricuspid regurgitation, regardless of the time from t he causal injury.
