Abstract | BACKGROUND: CASE SUMMARY: We report a case where MVP and papillary muscle rupture occurred 2 wk after RFCA in a papillary muscle originated VT patient without mitral valve regurgitation or prolapse before. The patient then underwent mitral valve replacement with no premature ventricular contraction or VT. During the surgery, a papillary muscle rupture was identified. Pathological examination showed necrosis of the papillary muscle. The patient recovered after mitral valve replacement. CONCLUSION: Too many ablation procedures and energy should be avoided.
