Aortic valve repair for traumatic aortic insufficiency.
Copyright policy )Aortic valve repair for traumatic aortic insufficiency.
Prolapse of a commissural portion of the aortic valve due to partial intimal tear following a blunt chest trauma is a rare condition. Aortic valve repair is a technically demanding operation and the presence of aortic incompetence due to leaflet prolapse often leads to aortic valve replacement. We report the case of a patient with aortic insufficiency due to commissural disruption following a road traffic accident, and in whom aortic valve repair was performed.
