  • Title: Acute aortic insufficiency due to rupture of an aortic valve commissure.
    Author: Kassem S, Polvani G, Al Jaber E, Gennari M.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2014 Jul; 29(4):497-8. PubMed ID: 24417221.
    Abstract:
    Myxomatous degeneration generally involves the atrioventricular valves (mitral and tricuspid). Rarely, it may affect the aortic or pulmonary valve. We report a case of an acute severe aortic insufficiency due to a rupture of a commissure of the aortic valve in a patient who had previously undergone mitral valve surgery for myxomatous mitral valve prolapse.
