RESUMO

In an automobile accident, a young man sustained blunt trauma to the chest that caused injury to the fibrous skeleton of the heart. The mitral and tricuspid valves and their annuli were lacerated, the aortic annulus was separated from the ventricular septum, and the ventricular septum was disrupted; however, with surgical management, the patient survived.
