AbstractWe performed “Papillary muscle heads focalization” for three patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation with severe leaflet tethering (coaptation distance ≥1 cm and/or posterior leaflet angle ≥45 degrees). All separated papillary muscle heads were sutured together and both the anterolateral and posteromedial papillary muscles were reconstructed as single head papillary muscles. The stitches are positioned to adjust the levels of mitral leaflet tips, concerning the length of the marginal chordae connected to each head. A downsized annuloplasty is performed concomitantly. At discharge, no patient showed moderate/severe mitral regurgitation. Their coaptation lengths were 7.1, 8.5, and 8.3 mm.

ABSTRACT Acute ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to complete or partial rupture of either anterolateral or posteriomedial papillary muscles occurring within a week of acute myocardial infarction. Chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation is due to postinfarct remodeling leading to imbalance between tethering and closing forces of mitral valve apparatus. We present a 64-year-old male, presenting with acute pulmonary edema secondary to severe mitral regurgitation, a week after his myocardial infarction. Transthoracic echocardiogram detected a mobile intracardiac mass near anterior mitral leaflet with no clear-cut intracardiac origin of this mass. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography detected rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle. This case illustrates a rare presentation of postinfarct rupture of one of the heads of posteriomedial papillary muscle occurring late after infarction presenting as an intracardiac mass, which can have surgical implications.

A 54-year-old gentleman presented with pulmonary oedema secondary to anterolateral papillary muscle (PPM) rupture and acute mitral regurgitation subsequent to myocardial ischaemia (MI). Angiography revealed complete occlusion of the first obtuse marginal (OM1) branch of the circumflex coronary artery and a 70% occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. Operatively, unusual anatomy was noted; an accessory head was attached superiorly to the anterior lateral PPM. This gave rise to chordae that were subsequently attached to the posterior second (P2) scallop. Additionally, the P2 scallop was deficient in chordae from the posteromedial PPM, thus, loss of this accessory head led to severe mitral regurgitation. We review the PPM anatomy and pathological context of PPM rupture and ischaemic mitral regurgitation.

The vasopressin V<sub>2</sub> receptor antagonist (Tolvaptan) is a new diuretic that selectively promotes the excretion of water. It has been reported to be effective for patients in cardiology, but there have been no reports of its use in the perioperative period after cardiac surgery. We report the usefulness of Tolvaptan for postoperative fluid management in a patient with severe mitral regurgitation due to ischemic cardiomyopathy. Marked improvement was achieved after administration of Tolvaptan for heart failure in the postoperative period.
