Key result
Double valve replacement successfully treats severe mitral and aortic regurgitation from papillary fibroelastoma.
Why the study?
Valve regurgitation caused by papillary fibroelastoma is uncommon and not known to cause severe regurgitation requiring valve replacement.
Case Report (n=1)
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Single case of severe regurgitation from papillary fibroelastoma raises diagnostic consideration; leaves open whether this association is causal or coincidental.
Ajiboye et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Cardiac papillary fibroelastoma with severe mitral and aortic valve regurgitation (n=1). Double valve replacement was evaluated. A patient with severe mitral and aortic valve regurgitation due to papillary fibroelastoma was successfully treated with double valve replacement.
