Treatment of delayed rupture of the left ventricle after mitral valve replacement.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rupture of the left ventricle following mitral valve replacement is a catastrophic complication with deadly consequences. We report here the case of a 75-year-old man who underwent elective mitral valve replacement for severe mitral regurgitation. Delayed type 1 rupture of the left ventricle developed 3 hours postoperatively in the intensive care unit. A salvaging maneuver was used, which gained time, allowing reoperation and successful intraventricular repair.

متن کاملRupture of posterior wall of left ventricle after mitral valve replacement.
Possible aetiological factors, presentation, and management were reviewed in 18 patients with posterior left ventricular rupture complicating mitral valve replacement seen at one centre over six and a half years. The patients were elderly (mean age 57), predominantly women (16 of the 18), and suffering from mitral stenosis. Rupture was much more common after isolated replacement of the mitral v...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Rupture Following Mitral Valve Replacement*
During a 10-year period, we have encountered 6 patients (mean age, 61.2 years) with left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement, with an overall incidence of 1.8 percent. Four patients had early rupture, one had delayed rupture, and one had late rupture with a false aneurysm formation. Among four patients with early niptare, there were two patients with external repair by using ...
متن کاملSubmitral left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement.
Late left ventricle (LV) rupture with pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement is rare. We report its early diagnosis by advanced technologies, e.g. MRI and successful repair of a type I AV rupture through left atrial approach.
