[A case report of mitral valve plasty for traumatic mitral regurgitation].
A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a chief complaint of general fatigue on June 24, 1993. He had no history of rheumatic fever but bruised in the chest in September 1990. After that, his systolic murmur was noticed at the apex and echocardiogram showed the posterior chordal rupture of mitral valve. Mitral valve plasty was performed successfully.
