Tricuspid valve insufficiency rarely follows a blunt chest trauma. When the tricuspid valve is solely injured, the cardiac trauma may stay asymptomatic and tolerable, which often makes it difficult to determine the indication for surgery. We report a case of a patient with tricuspid regurgitation secondary to trauma due to a motorcycle accident. The patient was initially asymptomatic, but shortness of breath emerged two years after the accident. He underwent the tricuspid valve repair with chordae reconstruction and annuloplasty via lower partial sternotomy. We advocate that early surgical intervention prevents right heart failure, atrial fibrillation, and valve replacement.
