    Abstract:
    Papillary muscle rupture is rare but catastrophic complication of acute myocardial infarction. We report a 91-year-old woman who underwent successful management of papillary muscle rupture following acute myocardial infarction. She was transferred to our hospital because of severe pulmonary edema and cardiogenic shock. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral valve regurgitation due to total rupture of anterolateral papillary muscle. After intubation, intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) and percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) insertion, mitral valve replacement was successfully performed. She was discharged 134 days after operation. In papillary muscle rupture deteriorating hemodynamics, early diagnosis and immediate cardiopulmonary support are required before surgical treatment. She was, to the best of our knowledge, the oldest among the reported cases of successful surgical treatment of papillary muscle rupture in Japan.
