Surgical treatment for post-infarction papillary muscle rupture: a multicentre study

Giulio Massimi et al.

Summary: Surgical treatment for post-infarction papillary muscle rupture carries a high in-hospital mortality rate, which did not improve during the study period. Concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting confers a survival benefit and should be performed whenever possible to improve the outcome.

Mitral valve repair in papillary muscle rupture

Umar Imran Hamid et al.

Summary: Papillary muscle rupture is a significant complication following myocardial infarction, leading to severe mitral valve regurgitation. Surgical treatment options include valve replacement or repair, with repair carrying a higher risk. Concomitant coronary revascularization can improve post-surgery outcomes. Transcatheter devices may serve as a bridge in the treatment of acute mitral regurgitation.

Acute Ischaemic Mitral Valve Regurgitation

Breda Hennessey et al.

Summary: Acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation (IMR) is a rare and challenging complication following acute myocardial infarction. Despite advancements in surgical and percutaneous interventions, prognosis for patients with acute IMR is often poor. This review focuses on diagnosis, echocardiographic features, and current treatment options for patients with acute IMR.

Mechanical Complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction A Review

Fei Fei Gong et al.

Summary: Mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarction, while rare due to early reperfusion therapies, remain a significant determinant of outcomes with high mortality rates. Early diagnosis and management using echocardiography and a combination of medical therapy and mechanical circulatory support are crucial in improving outcomes. Surgical intervention is the definitive treatment, but percutaneous therapies are emerging as an alternative for high-risk surgical patients.
