Abstract

Long-standing isolated traumatic tricuspid insufficiency in an elderly patient is reported. The hemodynamics and benign course of this lesion are compared briefly with the tricuspid insufficiency associated with rheumatic mitral and aortic valvulitis. We conclude that this lesion, when isolated, may be well-tolerated and managed medically for a long period of time.
