Abstract
A 23-year-old man sustained blunt cardiac injury after a motor vehicle collision resulting in left ventricular septal avulsion, ruptured chordae tendineae, and moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation that necessitated operative intervention. The patient underwent successful resection of a prolapsed avulsed septal wall segment and concomitant tricuspid valve repair.
