Herein, we present a 55-year-old female who underwent a mitral valve repair procedure for mitral valve endocarditis. Multiple vegetations and leaflet tissues were surgically removed from the P1 and P2 scallops. The defect of the posterior leaflet was repaired using autologous pericardium. Rims of the pericardium supported three artificial chordae to obtain good mitral coaptation. The postoperative course was uneventful. The patient was discharged on the 30th postoperative day.
