Closed chest trauma can cause rupture of intracardiac structures. We report the case of a 17-year-old boy whose chest was trodden by a horse. He sustained rupture of tricuspid and aortic valve leaflets and rupture of the interventricular septum. He underwent surgical repair of these lesions, but aortic insufficiency developed 2 years later and the aortic valve was replaced with a mechanical prosthesis.
