Isolated papillary muscle rupture complicating acute pancreatitis.

Papillary muscle rupture in the absence of coronary stenoses is a rare event. An isolated infarction of the papillary muscle is involved in most cases, but the pathogenesis is still debated. We descri...

The association between dermatomyositis and papillary thyroid cancer: a case report.

We report the case of a 66-year-old woman who developed progressive proximal muscle weakness and papillary thyroid cancer. After a thyroidectomy, she was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pu...

Papillary fibroelastoma prolapsing into the left ventricular outflow tract : Diagnosis using three-dimensional TEE.

A 72-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with exertional dyspnea and atrial tachycardia due to atypical atrial flutter. Comprehensive three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE...

Papillary muscle approximation and relocation with a loop technique for mitral complex repair.

Undersized mitral annuloplasty alone is not always sufficient to repair functional mitral regurgitation resulting from left ventricular enlargement; the repair requires a three-dimensional approach to...

Mitral Valve Repair After Papillary Muscle Rupture Through Beating Heart Adjustment of Artificial Chordae Length.

Acute papillary muscle rupture results in severe mitral regurgitation and hemodynamic instability, and it carries a poor prognosis with a high mortality rate. We present a case of an 86-year-old woman...
