Abstract
A 78-year-old woman had a past medical history of atrial fibrillation and acute ST-elevation inferior wall myocardial infarction 2 weeks prior to presentation. Her hospital course was complicated by ventricular tachycardia, cardiac arrest, and cardiogenic shock. After discharge to a rehabilitation facility, she was readmitted because of acute decompensated congestive heart failure. She successfully underwent mitral valve repair with coronary artery bypass grafting (Figs. 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7).

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) four-chamber view showed ruptured chordae tendineae of the posterior leaflet. The ruptured chordae are seen as a freely moving structure from the left ventricle to the left atrium during the cardiac cycle (AVI 5505 kb)
A TEE zoom view of the mitral valve demonstrating flail of the posterior mitral leaflet with ruptured chordae (AVI 12633 kb)
TEE zoom view of the mitral valve with color flow Doppler imaging demonstrating anteriorly directed mitral regurgitation jet (AVI 3203 kb)
TEE at 60° showed ruptured chordae with papillary muscle head moving freely into the left atrium (AVI 9826 kb)
TEE at 120° showed ruptured chordae with papillary muscle head moving freely into the left atrium (AVI 10014 kb)
TEE at 120° with color flow Doppler imaging demonstrating anteriorly directed mitral regurgitation jet (AVI 1972 kb)

Three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction imaging of the mitral valve (surgical view) showing flail P3 segment of the mitral valve with ruptured papillary muscle (AVI 2454 kb)
Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) apical long-axis view showed anteroseptal wall hypokinesia. The zona coapta of the mitral valve was apically displaced (AVI 6579 kb)
TTE apical long-axis view with color Doppler flow imaging showed a posteriorly directed mitral regurgitation jet (AVI 4392 kb)
TTE apical four-chamber view showed anterolateral and apical hypokinesia. The posterior mitral leaflet has restricted motion throughout the cardiac cycle (AVI 6328 kb)
