Traumatic rupture of extracardiac valved conduit: unusual late complication producing outflow tract obstruction

PC Ursell, SP Griffiths and FO Bowman Jr
Department of Pathology, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, NY.

A 22-year-old woman died suddenly 15 years after successful repair of truncus arteriosus with a valved Dacron conduit. At autopsy there was complete obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract by a large organizing thrombus between the outer aspect of the conduit and the adherent pericardial tissue. This rare late complication may have resulted from an unrecognized deceleration injury occurring at the time of a serious automobile accident 5 months before death.
