Abstract
We describe a case of acute cardiac failure in a patient involved in a motor vehicle accident. A diagnosis of acute mitral regurgitation and left atrioventricular disruption was made with transesophageal echocardiography. Successful repair was performed using the mitral valve leaflets to patch the disruption followed by valve replacement.
