Postprocedural mitral valve insufficiency – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1558386083
This is a postprocedural disorder of the heart in which the mitral valve does not close properly when the heart pumps out blood. It is the abnormal leaking of blood from the left ventricle, through the mitral valve, and into the left atrium, when the left ventricle contracts, i.e. there is regurgitation of blood back into the left atrium.
