A 44 year-old woman developed severe respiratory failure and causes cardiopulmonary arrest and was admitted to ICU with multiorganic failure. In the following days presented fever and a new cardiac murmur. The transesophageal echocardiogram shows a perforation of the P1 segment of the posterior leaflet that causes a severe mitral regurgitation. The perforation was attributed to complicated infective endocarditis and leaded to the indication for surgical mitral valve replacement. The case is a great example to review the imaging pattern of mitral valve regurgitation.Paciente de 44 años que ingresa por insuficiencia respiratoria grave, que progresa a parada cardíaca y precisa reanimación cardiopulmonar.
