Abstract
- A 51-year-old male was admitted three month previously with a cardiac stab injury and he underwent direct cardiac repair. He had no problem after this event. He complained of dyspnea that started 2 months after the original injury. Echocardiography showed severe tricuspid regurgitation and so, chordac replacement and ring annuloplasty was performed. Herein we report on a case of tricuspid valve repair for treating tricuspid insufficiency following a cardiac stab injury.
