We describe the case of a 74-year-old patient with structural valve deterioration of a Carpentier-Edwards porcine mitral valve. He was referred to our institution for a murmur noted about 1 week before. Transthoracic echocardiography showed the presence of severe mitral regurgitation, without disclosing the mechanism of failure. A tear cusp was identified with transesophageal echocardiography that resulted in a lack of coaptation of the leaflets causing mitral insufficiency. The diagnosis was confirmed at surgery.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation.

D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
