Abstract
The majority of patients who was presented as severe mitral regurgitation can be managed with medical treatment. However, some cases of severe and acute mitral regurgitation need to rapid surgical intervention like as primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. In this case, a patient with acute and severe mitral regurgitation presented as accelerating shortness of breath and impending multi-organ perfusion failure was dramatically recovered by rapid echocardiographic diagnosis and emergency valve replacement operation.
