摘要

We report an unusual case of a 13-year-old boy who sustained multiple traumatic cardiac injuries—including ventricular septal and Gerbode defects, aortic dissection, and severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR)—following a high-pressure truck tire explosion. The patient underwent successful endovascular and surgical repair, with full recovery observed at the 1-year follow-up. This case highlights the importance of thorough evaluation and individualized management in pediatric patients with complex cardiac trauma resulting from uncommon high-energy mechanisms.
