We report a case of myocardial infarction after mitral valve replacement occurring in a patient with the left cyrcumflex coronary artery arising from the right one. The patient underwent mitral valve replacement with a size 27 Carbomedics prosthesis and a tricuspidal annuloplasty was performed according to the De Vega technique. Patient died on the 20th postoperative day.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.
