A Non-ischemic Spontaneous Papillary Muscle Rupture. Case Report
Keyword(s):
We report a case of spontaneous mechanical papillary muscle rupture (PMR). We believe that the etiology of PMR, in this case, is related to a histological damage of the valve, extreme sudden force to the papillary muscle, and some possible tissue hypo-perfusion of the subvalvular apparatus. We performed a mitral valve replacement and bypass coronary surgery with good results.
