K. Yasuura et al., SUCCESSFUL REPAIR OF TRICUSPID REGURGITATION 46 YEARS AFTER CAUSAL BLUNT TRAUMA - CASE-REPORT, Scandinavian journal of thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, 30(2), 1996, pp. 105-108
Tricuspid regurgitation arising from chest trauma 46 years earlier was

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.
