22 maj 2023 · Papillary muscle rupture is a rare and potentially fatal complication that typically follows a myocardial infarction or occurs secondary to infective endocarditis. Acute rupture frequently results in severe mitral valve regurgitation, acute life-threatening cardiogenic shock, and pulmonary edema.
7 maj 2013 · A papillary muscle rupture is a rare cardiac emergency and is most frequently associated with acute myocardial infarction. It is usually fatal and refractory to medical treatment. Once a papillary muscle rupture has been diagnosed, urgent mitral valve replacement is required to correct the hemodynamic deterioration of the patient.
22 maj 2023 · Papillary muscle rupture is a rare and potentially fatal complication often following a myocardial infarction or secondary to infective endocarditis. Acute rupture frequently results in severe mitral valve regurgitation and subsequent acute life-threatening cardiogenic shock and pulmonary edema.
Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) demonstrated a left ventricular ejection fraction of 30% with akinesis of the basal to mid inferior and inferolateral walls, and a possible flail posterior mitral valve leaflet with MR, concerning for papillary muscle rupture (PMR) (Video 1A and 1B).
Papillary muscle rupture is a life-threatening and eminently correctable complication of acute myocardial infarction that accounts for approximately 5% of deaths in patients with acute infarction (Fig. 1).
6 mar 2023 · Spontaneous, non-ischemic papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is a rare and life-threatening cardiac emergency. As a rare form of acute heart failure and hemodynamic compromise, urgent evaluation and diagnosis is needed as PMR is often fatal unless emergent repair or valve replacement is instituted.
31 paź 2021 · Papillary muscle rupture (PMR) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to analyse the patient characteristics and early outcomes of the surgical management of post-infarction PMR from an international multicentre registry.
