Abstract:
A 67-year-old female with mitral regurgitation associated with acromegaly was admitted to our hospital. The cause of MR was torn chordae of posterior leaflet of the mitral valve. A prolapse part of the posterior leaflet was resected and sutured by McGoon's method. Annuloplasty was performed by Kay's method. Postoperative course was uneventful. She recovered well after the operation.
