3-D transesophageal echocardiography may overcome the sensitivity limitations of 2-D transthoracic echocardiography in diagnosing traumatic tricuspid valve detachment.
raumatic tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR) is a rare disease, typically caused by blunt chest trauma secondary to motor vehicle accidents. The frequency of traumatic TR has increased over the past 40 years, but the dis-ease may be underestimated because many patients experience few or symptoms early after trauma. 2 Although the diis usually confirmed on 2-D transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE), a lack of sensitivity limits the role of 2D-T
