Case Reports[A case of tricuspid valve endocarditis in the drug addict].
We reported a case of tricuspid valve endocarditis in a drug addict. A 25-year-old woman with a history of drug abuse was admitted to our hospital for high fever. ⋯ Excision of the posterior leaflet including vegetation, and direct suture of the residual posterior leaflet along with annuloplasty was successfully done. Postoperative course was uneventful and endocarditis was eradicated.

Case Reports[A surgical case of aortic dissection Stanford type A caused by blunt chest trauma--a report of a successful case].
A case of successfully repaired traumatic aortic dissection was reported. A 66-year-old woman with a blunt chest trauma from the car accident was transferred to our hospital. ⋯ The postoperative course was uneventful. Blunt chest trauma is very rare to cause aortic dissection, and the operative indication should be determined with careful consideration of the associated organ injuries.

Case Reports[A case of surgical treatment of acute aortic dissection without an intimal tear].
We experienced a case of acute aortic dissection without an intimal tear. A 55-year-old woman with SLE presented with acute chest pain. TEE study showed dissection of the ascending aorta, and accompanied by pericardial effusion. ⋯ However, intimal tear was not found. She underwent graft replacement of the ascending aorta and the total aortic arch, and had an uneventful postoperative course. Histological examination of a segment of ascending aorta showed no evidence of mucinous degeneration and pathological rupture of the elastic fiber.

Case Reports[Complete disruption of the trachea due to blunt neck trauma--a case report].
A complete disruption of the cervical trachea due to blunt trauma is relatively rare. Because of dislocation of the disrupted trachea and/or bleeding into airway, this is a mostly fatal accident. This article reports the author's experience with the successful surgical treatment of the complete disruption of the cervical trachea. ⋯ Tracheostomy was performed two months later, because of his bilateral recurrent nerve paralysis. The patient is alive and well 25 months after surgery. It should be emphasized that early diagnosis and adequate management are important to save patients with complete disruption of the trachea due to blunt trauma.
