متن کاملFalse aneurysm of the left ventricle secondary to bacterial endocarditis with perforation of the mitral-aortic invervalvular fibrosa.

The close relationship between this structure and the epicardium was responsible for the peculiar location of the aneurysm in the epicardium between the aorta and the left atrium. Rupture of the false aneurysm led to a fatal he...

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 کاملLeft ventricular post-infraction pseudoaneurysm mimicking mitral valve endocarditis
In this report we present a patient who was initially diagnosed as suffering from mitral valve endocarditis. The proper use of diagnostic modalities revealed a pseudo aneurysm of the left ventricle which was mimicking mitral valve vegetations. This allowed better planning of the subsequent operation. The optimal preoperative diagnostic studies are discussed along with the proper surgical treatm...
