Population

A 54-year-old woman with moderate mitral regurgitation and a history of left breast cancer resection with radiotherapy and chemotherapy 17 years ago.

Intervention

Multimodality echocardiography (transthoracic and transoesophageal) and close follow-up.

This case highlights the utility of transoesophageal echocardiography in diagnosing a rare aberrant mitral valve chord (accessory mitral valve tissue) as a cause of moderate mitral regurgitation.
