We reported a successful surgical treatment of mitral regurgitation (MR) due to ruptured chordae tendineae in a 44-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who had received the steroid therapy. He had signs of acute congestive heart failure with severe pulmonary hypertension due to MR, and underwent urgent mitral valve replacement. The postoperative course was uneventful. When replacing valve in SLE, a careful manipulation should be taken because of friability of cardiovascular tissue. Patients are usually administered steroid agents, and the agents ought to be discontinued in perioperative period, but it seems to be better to resume as soon as possible. We conclude that the surgical treatment for valvular diseases should be considered, even in the patient with SLE.
