    Mitral regurgitation is one of the most prevalent valvular disorders. It has numerous etiologies grouped as primary typically because of underlying degenerative leaflet disease, or secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), most commonly because of geometrical distortion of the left ventricle (LV) impacting the functional integrity of the valvular apparatus.1 Specifically for SMR, LV dilation and…

    We report a case of sudden-onset pulmonary edema due to failure of a bioprosthetic mitral valve. Gross inspection revealed a leaflet tear at a stent post without calcification or pannus formation and no evidence of sutures. This case highlights the mechanical failure of a bioprosthetic mitral valve associated with missing sutures. ( Level of Difficulty: Intermediate. )
