Özet

We report 2 patients who presented extensive rupture of chordae tendineae caused by blunt thoracic trauma leading to nail anterior leaflet of tricuspid valve. Transposing a segment of septal leaflet in 1 patient and the posterior leaflet in the other patient onto the nail anterior leaflet's margin abolished massive tricuspid regurgitation. Fifteen and 33 months postoperatively the patients are in good clinical condition and the echocardiographic controls show a competent tricuspid valve.
