AbstractPapillary muscle rupture is a classical, but not frequent life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction. The only treatment consists in mitral valve surgical replacement. It should be performed in a hospital with specialized critical care and a cardiac surgery unit. The problem we are talking about in this article is the transfer of very instable patients in a specialized center before surgery. We also discuss the interest of mobile unit of cardiac assistance to manage patients in hospital without cardiac surgery then to transfer them. We discuss also the initial management in the cardiac surgery and critical care unit.Copyright © 2011 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
