Overview
Papillary muscle rupture is an infrequent mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction. Early diagnosis is important so that surgical repair can be performed.
Pathophysiology
The vascularization of the papillary muscles shows many individual variations and depends in part on coronary artery anatomy and dominance. However, the posterior papillary muscle is vascularized by posterior left ventricular branches that may have origin in the right, left or both coronary arteries. The anterior papillary muscle is vascularized by branches from diagonal, circumflex or even acute marginal branches of the left coronary artery. Papillary muscle ischemia occurs along with ischemia of the adjacent ventricular wall.

-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, left ventricle opened partially to show infarct and ruptured muscle, an excellent example
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, very good example
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct: Gross, an excellent example
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct: Gross, an excellent example
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, horizontal section of left ventricle looking toward base of heart, a very good example with lateral wall transmural infarct and ruptured papillary muscle
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, an excellent example of ruptured papillary muscle
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, natural color, close-up, well shown
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct: Gross fixed tissue very well shown and typical papillary muscle infarct
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct: Gross, natural color, close-up view of longitudinally section. Papillary muscle with obvious infarct, a very good example. There is a large old infarct with aneurysm in the anterior wall. The infarcted papillary muscle is the posterior one.
-
Papillary Muscle Thinning: Gross, natural color, band-like anterior papillary muscles secondary to healed infarct which is present in picture (but not easily seen). An excellent example for papillary muscle change
-
Mitral Valve Prosthesis and Large Apical Infarct: Gross, natural color, caged plastic ball with complete steel struts. A large recent infarct at apex of heart, at base of posterior papillary muscles. Etiology not completely clear but looks like an iatrogenic lesion (good illustration)
-
Myocardial Hemorrhage Following Mitral Valve Replacement: Gross, natural color, horizontal section of left ventricle showing a large area of mural hemorrhage extending from anterior papillary muscle
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, natural color, a close-up view (very good example)
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, fixed tissue, a close-up view (quite good example)
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, fixed tissue, but good color. Horizontal slice of LV with posterior infarct that appears old and a ruptured papillary muscle head.
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, fixed tissue, but good color. An outstanding photo of ruptured head of posterior papillary muscle with entangled chordae
-
Papillary Muscle Infarct with Rupture: Gross, fixed tissue, but good color. An outstanding photo of ruptured head of posterior papillary muscle with entwined chordae
