[Papillary muscle rupture after mitral valve replacement with preservation of subvalvular structures].
We report a female patient with mitral valve replacement and preservation of subvalvular apparatus in which parts of the papillary muscle ruptured postoperatively. During systole the ruptured papillary muscle prolapsed through the native aortic valve. Echocardiographic documentation and operative procedure were demonstrated.
