Key result
Mitral insufficiency caused by chordae tendineae rupture or fibrous adhesion led to pulmonary vascular bed changes identical to those found in mitral stenosis.

Pulmonary vascular remodeling may occur in mitral insufficiency as in stenosis; leaves open clinical relevance pending larger studies.
Becker et al. (1951) conducted a case report in Mitral insufficiency (n=2). Mitral insufficiency was evaluated on Changes in the pulmonary vascular bed. Mitral insufficiency caused by chordae tendineae rupture or fibrous adhesion led to pulmonary vascular bed changes identical to those found in mitral stenosis.
