Staphylococcal postoperative subannular left ventricular false aneurysm.
A 37-year-old male with acute complicated methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus mitral valve endocarditis underwent urgent valve replacement with a bileaflet prosthesis. The postoperative course was complicated with fever and heart failure. Echocardiography showed a large subannular false aneurysm of the left ventricle. Three weeks later resection and closure of the defect with a patch ma...
متن کاملLeft ventricular postoperative false aneurysm following apical venting
We report a case of false aneurysm of the left ventricle occurring subsequently to the placing of a vent sump line through the apex during an aortic valve procedure; the diagnosis was made twelve months later during a routine echocardiographic examination. The lesion was successfully repaired. This case recommend the use of other routes of venting in order to reduce the incidence of such compli...
متن کاملMitral subannular left ventricular aneurysm. A case report.
A mitral subannular left ventricular aneurysm in an Ovambo man is described. This condition should be suspected in patients of negroid descent presenting with mitral incompetence and a localised bulge on the left heart border on chest radiography. Mitral and aortic subannular aneurysms are discussed, including the diagnostic use of ECG gated cardiac blood pool imaging.
متن کاملStaphylococcal infection of a left ventricular aneurysm.
Left ventricular aneurysm formation is a common complication of myocardial infarction. Depending on the definition used, the incidence in survivors of acute myocardial infarction is between 4% and 40%, with mural thrombi present in about half of all aneurysms. Infection of these thrombi at times of bacteraemia might be expected to occur quite commonly but has been described only occasionally. W...
متن کاملMitral subannular left ventricular aneurysm. A case presenting with ventricular tachycardia.
A young African immigrant presented with ventricular tachycardia in association with two mitral subannular left ventricular aneurysms. Although an unusual finding, the recognition of such aneurysms is important as prophylactic measures may prevent complications. Furthermore, they are a surgically treatable cause of heart failure and arrhythmias.
