[Left Ventricular Torsion in Papillary Muscle Relocation for Severe Functional Mitral Regurgitation].

A 42-year-old woman with a history of old myocardial infarction was admitted to our hospital with complaints of worsening orthopnea. Doppler echocardiography exhibited severe functional mitral valve regurgitation. Because of the tethered mitral valve, we performed mitral valve annuloplasty concomitantly with papillary muscle relocation procedure.
