Papillary muscle rupture is a rare complication after myocardial infarction. Almost all cases occur in the papillary muscle of the mitral valve. The development of tricuspid regurgitation after right ventricular myocardial infarction caused by papillary muscle rupture is extremely rare. We present a 70-year-old man with massive tricuspid regurgitation caused by papillary muscle rupture after percutaneous coronary intervention to the right coronary artery involving a stent. We performed tricuspid valve repair with a reimplanted papillary muscle in situ using neither artificial chordae nor a prosthetic valve. Previous case reports on this surgical repair technique are not available.
