Papillary muscle rupture after myocardial infarction is a rare complication. We report the case of a 68-year-old male, with severe acute mitral valve regurgitation as a consequence of anterolateral papillary muscle rupture. We describe the emergency mitral valve replacement and his postoperative evolution.
