Patient sustained, what initially appeared to be, a chord rupture after 2nd inflation at 23mm.Septal crossing was in proper location with uncomplicated crossing of mitral valve on both inflation attempts, no empasse sign noted.After inflation severe concentric mr jet noted on echo with temporary drop in patient's pao2.Pt's bp, sats, were stable without additional intervention.Surgical consult completed and patient taken to or for valve replacement.Pt's coronaries were assessed prior to surgery and right main was occluded resulting in a surgical plan of mv replacement, grafting for occlusion, clipping of atrial appendage and ablation for afib.Initial assessment for patient for surgical interventions are good.
