[Traumatic rupture of tricuspid valve: report of 3 cases].
Tricuspide valve lesions due to non-penetrating trauma are rare and their diagnosis is difficult. Nevertheless, over 100 cases of post-traumatic valve regurgitation have been described in the last 35 years. We present 3 such cases diagnosed and operated at our center in the last 8 years.
