title: A New Surgical Repair Technique for Ischemic Total Papillary Muscle Rupture.
abstract: Papillary muscle (PM) rupture is an emergency surgical condition that may occur after acute myocardial infarction. In patients with compete rupture of the PM, mitral valve replacement is preferred or recommended generally because of unstable vital signs or technical difficulties with successful repair, as compared with patients with partial PM rupture. This case report describes the successful repair of a complete anterolateral PM rupture by using the single PM formation technique with subsequent ring annuloplasty.
