title: [Valve plasty for mitral regurgitation caused by partial papillary muscle rupture after acute myocardial infarction;report of a case].
abstract: A 58-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of acute myocardial infarction. Percutaneous coronary intervention for total occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery was performed successfully. However, she had heart failure that was gradually getting worse because of mitral valve regurgitation. Therefore, we performed valve plasty using the resection and suture method for mitral regurgitation caused by partial papillary muscle rupture. Her postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged on postoperative day 26. At 6 months after the operation, her functional status was New York Heart Association(NYHA) class I and transthoracic echocardiogram showed no mitral regurgitation( MR).
