Abstract

A 59-year-old hypertensive male, 1 year after uncomplicated mitral annuloplasty for regurgitation with MAZE procedure, with a history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and repeated pulmonary embolism, returned to our intensive care unit for a transient episode of dyspnoea and chest pain, which quickly subsided on treatment.
