title: Disappearance of mitral valve regurgitation after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
abstract: Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty has been reported to improve several clinical parameters. Functional papillary muscle dysfunction, which is also known to induce mitral valve regurgitation, is reversible after revascularization. We described a patient, with a 95% stenosis of proximal right coronary artery, whose mitral valve regurgitation disappeared after successful percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
