Embolic myocardial infarction and left ventricular rupture due to mitral valve endocarditis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A left ventricular rupture due to embolic myocardial infarction is extremely rare. A 72-year-old woman developed an acute embolic myocardial infarction and mitral regurgitation due to infective endocarditis. Two days after the infarction, a left ventricular free wall rupture occurred after transesophageal echo examination. She received an epicardial patch and mitral valve replacement. Perioperatively, an intra-aortic balloon pump and long-term antibiotics were used. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she is doing well 10 months after surgery.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by septic coronary embolism due to active infective endocarditis is rare but usually fatal. We report a case of successful mitral valve surgery with surgical embolectomy in a 27-year-old man with an AMI complicated by septic coronary embolism due to mitral valve endocarditis. A chest radiograph revealed cardiomegaly and marked pulmonary edema. A tra...
متن کاملNonrheumatic Mitral Insufficiency
Twenty patients with mitral insufficiency (MI) due to ruptured chordae tendineae, papillary muscle infarction, or left ventricular enlargement with no organic disease of the mitral valve have been studied during the past 3 years. Nineteen had valve replacement, and one had plastic repair of ruptured chordae tendineae; all have been followed from 6 months to 3 years. Preoperative data were diffe...
متن کاملMitral Valve Insufficiency
The causes of mitral valve insufficiency may largely be divided into two categories: organic or primary and functional or secondary. In the first case, the cause of insufficiency is due to a morphological change of the valve. Numerous diseases may damage the valve. Of the degenerative disease we may list myxomatous degeneration, fibroelastic deficiency or annular calcifications. Of the phlogist...
متن کاملTriple cardiac rupture.
Left ventricular free wall rupture and acute ischaemic mitral regurgitation are nowadays rare, but still potentially lethal mechanical complications after acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of a sequential left ventricular free wall rupture, anterolateral papillary muscle disruption, secondary severe mitral regurgitation and subsequent posteromedial papillary muscle head rupture in a...
متن کاملAortic valve endocarditis associated with LV aneurysm secondary to previous infarct.
DESCRIPTION Rupture of the free wall of the left ventricle (LV) is a catastrophic complication occurring in 4% of patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and in 23% of those who die of MI. The posterior wall is the frequent location of a false ventricular aneurysm, because anterior or lateral LV ruptures are unlikely to be contained, resulting in sudden death. A 69-year-old male patient with ...
