A 66-year-old woman with double mitral valve (bridge type) and severe mitral regurgitation by spontaneous ruptured chordas is reported. The case with this combination has not been reported in the literature. She had not any other congenital heart diseases. The mitral valve was clearly shown by two-dimensional Doppler transesophageal echocardiography. Mitral valve replacement with Medtronic-Hall valve was carried out successfully.
