Özet

Mitral valve perforation is a rare cause of severe mitral regurgitation. Infective endocarditis, connective tissue disease, cardiac surgery and aortic regurgitation jet are blaming causes of mitral valve perforation. We present a case of anterior mitral leaflet perforation accompanied with mitral valve prolapse identified by real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography.
