Postprocedural mitral valve insufficiency due to papillary muscle or chordal damage – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/667243368

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, due to papillary muscle and chordal damage.
