  • Title: Early Basal Cuspal Tear of a Porcine Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Causing Massive Mitral Regurgitation.
    Author: Tamim M, Alexiou C, AlKadi Y, Mahmoud MS, Qaddoura F.
    Journal: J Cardiovasc Dev Dis; 2020 Nov 06; 7(4):. PubMed ID: 33171925.
    Abstract:
    Although porcine mitral bioprostheses provide predictably good long-term outcomes, unexpected leaflet tears leading to abrupt haemodynamic changes may occur. Here, we report on a patient who was presented with acute dyspnea due to a cuspal tear of a porcine bioprosthetic mitral valve causing severe mitral regurgitation. Her condition was subsequently complicated by a systemic infection, probably pneumonia, and was successfully managed with an urgent redo-mitral valve replacement.
