Abstract
A 65-year-old cardiac transplant recipient suffered rupture of the mitral valve apparatus during endomyocardial biopsy of the left ventricle. Severe mitral regurgitation resulted, and because of heart failure with progressive clinical deterioration the patient was finally subjected to mitral valve replacement. He had a favorable postoperative course and is now asymptomatic.Entities:
