May prompt consideration of chordae rupture in LVOTO with acute MR; hypothesis-generating for combined surgical strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Chordae tendineae rupture should be considered as a potentially fatal but treatable cause of mitral regurgitation in patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to severe pressure gradients.
Adler et al. (2003) conducted a case report in Chordae tendineae rupture and discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis (n=1). Mitral valve replacement with myectomy was evaluated. Mitral valve replacement with myectomy successfully treated 1 elderly woman with pulmonary edema caused by chordae tendineae rupture secondary to severe discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis.
