Abstract
Atrioventricular disruption is an uncommon but often lethal complication in mitral valve replacement. We present the case of a 79-year-old woman in whom the disruption after mitral valve replacement was successfully repaired using BioGlue surgical adhesive, bovine pericardium, and polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon) patch.
