Abstract

Severe mitral regurgitation due to papillary muscle rupture is life-threatening and rarely occurs after blunt chest wall trauma. We present a case of cardiogenic shock caused by papillary muscle rupture and severe mitral regurgitation after blunt chest wall trauma that was treated with Impella as a bridge to valve replacement.
