Ultrasound in Clinical Applications

Twelve cases of traumatic tricuspid insufficiency (only three of which already have been published), collected in the same city, are reported. This figure strongly contrasts with the limited number of cases published to date in the literature. Emphasis is placed on the difficulty of diagnosis, the utility of echocardiography and Doppler ultrasound and therapeutic problems of this lesion.
