Introduction

Mechanical complications after myocardial infarction (MI) have become uncommon since the introduction of primary angioplasty. They can lead to a rapid clinical deterioration and a fatal outcome, with patient’s survival being depen­dent on their prompt recognition and intervention. We describe a case of two rare mechanical complications: a partial papillary muscle rupture after MI, followed by an early severe obstructive thrombosis of the implanted bioprosthetic valve.
