Left 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 کامل[Left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement].
Rupture of the posterior wall of the left ventricle is an unusual but often lethal complication following mitral valve replacement. The incidence is about 1% of MVRs. Most of the ruptures are attributed either to technical maneuvers in the operation or to stretch injury produced by removal of the mural leaflet of the mitral valve. Surgical repair of the rupture requires the cardiopulmonary bypa...
متن کاملContained Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture following Myocardial Infarction

Relatively few cases are diagnosed before death. Several distinct clinical forms of ventricular free wall rupture have been identified. Sudden rupture with massive hemorrhage into the pericardium is...

Background A 55 year old patient presented late to the emergency department following an ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiogram demonstrated occluded left anterior descending artery with backfilling from collaterals. The patient was referred for an in-patient cardiac MRI scan (CMRI) to quantify left ventricular (LV) function and viability. A repeat CMRI was requested 3 m...
متن کاملa case report of left ventricular wall rupture
cardiac rupture, particularly rupture of the left ventricular wall, has a very high mortality rate. in this occasion, even if injured patients being alive when carried to the hospital, many of them will die due to following possible reasons: severe bleeding, cardiac tamponade, wasting time for routine and usual diagnostic procedures or transferring the injured to other hospital equipped for car...
