The case of a patient with delayed mitral regurgitation and right coronary artery traumatic injury in association with intramyocardial dissection without rupture or pseudoaneurysm is presented. These findings evolved secondary to blunt chest trauma and were confirmed by cardiac ultrasound scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and cardiac catheterization. Successful surgical correction was facilitated with this combination of diagnostic testing.
