Abstract
Complete papillary muscle rupture is a catastrophic complication of ac ute myocardial infarction which usually leads to acute severe mitral r egurgitation requiring urgent or emergent surgery. A case in which thi s complication occurred after chordal sparing mitral valve replacement is described. The severed papillary muscle was removed surgically. Th e incidence and natural history of papillary muscle rupture occurring after chordal sparing mitral valve replacement for ischemic mitral ins ufficiency is not known.
