Aortic valve rupture after blunt trauma to the chest is an infrequent complication that should be considered at the outset in examination of an accident victim. The presence of aortic regurgitation with hemodynamic instability is an indication for surgery. We implanted a stentless bioprosthesis after aortic valve rupture due to chest trauma in a 31-year-old man with schizophrenia.

Abstract
Aortic valve rupture after blunt trauma to the chest is an infrequent complication that should be considered at the outset in examination of an accident victim. The presence of aortic regurgitation with hemodynamic instability is an indication for surgery. We implanted a stentless bioprosthesis after aortic valve rupture due to chest trauma in a 31-year-old man with schizophrenia.
