Abstract
Traumatic aortic valve regurgitation is a rare but potentially fatal complication of blunt chest trauma. We present the case of a 68-year-old woman who suffered from severe traumatic aortic valve regurgitation after a car accident. The patient was successfully treated by surgical replacement of the aortic valve with a biologic prosthesis.
