“…This injury pattern is most frequently observed in motor vehicle accidents and falls from a height, yet other causes have been described, including direct blows to the chest, sporting and industrial injuries and kicks by animals. 1 Possible mechanisms to account for these injuries include acute deceleration, forcefull anteroposterior compression of the heart against the sternum and vertebral column, lacerations by adjacent rib or sternal fractures and rarely, sudden massive return of venous blood to the heart after blunt abdominal trauma. 3 Anteroposterior compression of the heart is viewed as the most common mechanism accounting for these injuries.…”

“…This can cause rupture of the papillary muscle, chordae tendineae or valve leaflets. The vulnerable phase for aortic valve lesions is during early diastole, when the transaortic gradient is the highest 8. Usually only one cusp is damaged, the non-coronary cusp is most commonly involved 6…”

SUMMARYThis report demonstrates two cases of traumatic valvular lesions of the heart. The first is a patient with severe mitral regurgitation after a blunt chest trauma and the second a severe aortic regurgitation due to rupture of a coronary cusp after a motor cycle accident. Both patients underwent successful surgery and recovered. Valvular lesions are a rare complication after blunt chest trauma. Physicians should always consider a traumatic valvular lesion as a possible cause of pulmonary oedema or haemodynamic instability after a blunt chest trauma. BACKGROUND

Severe intrathoracic injuries are uncommon but immediately life-threatening. These injuries are mostly associated with polytrauma. After stabilization of polytraumatized patients imaging is a prerequisite for treatment and operation planning. The assessment warrants an interdisciplinary approach primarily between the specialties of anesthesia, trauma surgery and thoracic surgery and further specialties should be involved depending on the injury pattern. This article gives an overview about the current management of the most important intrathoracic injuries.
