Implication

Supports surgical repair in refractory HF from mitral insufficiency; leaves open generalizability and need for controlled data.

Key Points

To describe the recognition and surgical management of acute mitral insufficiency resulting from the rupture of structurally normal chordae tendineae.
Evaluated an individual presenting with refractory cardiac failure secondary to severe mitral insufficiency.
Conducted surgical repair of the mitral valve restraining mechanism to correct regurgitation.
Confirmed that acute rupture of normal chordae tendineae can cause severe mitral valve insufficiency and intractable cardiac failure.
Achieved complete functional rehabilitation of the patient following corrective surgical repair.
