Left Atrial Wall Dissection after Mitral Valve Replacement
نویسندگان
چکیده
Left atrial dissection does occur, though rarely, after mitral valve surgery. A 68-year-old Korean female presented with moderate mitral stenosis, mild mitral regurgitation, moderate tricuspid regurgitation and mild aortic regurgitation. She was scheduled for mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. We experienced a left atrial dissection after weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass and decided not to repair it. The patient recovered uneventfully. We suggest that a specific type of left atrial dissection can be treated conservatively.

Dissection of intima on atrial septum patch after mitral valve replacement in a patient with infective endocarditis after incomplete atrio-ventricular septal defect repair: report of a case.
We encountered a very rare lesion, which included a dissection between a prosthetic patch for repair of an incomplete atrio-ventricular septal defect (AVSD) and a pseudo-intima which had developed. This is the first report of a dissection between an atrial septum patch and pseudo-intima after mitral valve replacement (MVR) in a patient with infective endocarditis following an incomplete AVSD re...

Left atrial dissection (LatD), defined as the forced separation of the left atrial (LA) wall layers by blood, is a rare and severe complication of cardiac surgery. It is most frequently associated with atrioventricular junction injuries. We report a case of infected LatD after coronary artery bypass graft, mitral valve replacement, aortic valve replacement and ascending aortic root replacement....

On admission, slight fever (37.2°C), blood pressure of 121/96 mmHg, and a pulse rate of 68 beats/min were recorded. Auscultation of the heart produced a metallic click sound without significant murmur. On blood tests, white blood cell count and serum C-reactive protein were elevated, ...

The objective of this report is to present a young patient with combined mitral valve and coronary artery disease to illustrate these challenges.In this report, we present a 47-year-old man with longstanding HIV infection who was referred with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and profound...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
