Late Diagnosis of Large Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm after Mitral Valve Replacement and Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery by Real-Time Three-Dimensional Echocardiography

چکیده
One of the most serious complications of mitral valve replacement is left ventricular rupture and pseudoaneurysm formation, which is rare but potentially lethal. We herein present a late type of post mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass surgery pseudoaneurysm in a 74-year-old female, who was admitted to our hospital with a recent history of exertional dyspnea. She had the above-mentioned operation 10 months before. The diagnosis was made via two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography. The prosthetic mitral valve was removed, and the large orifice of the pseudoaneurysm was closed by surgery. At one year's follow-up, the patient was in good condition.

Right 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...

We present a rare case of a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm in a patient after inferior wall myocardial infarction. The infarction was complicated with acute mitral insufficiency, pulmonary edema, and cardiogenic shock. Urgent surgical mitral valve replacement and coronary artery bypass grafting were performed. After several months, the patient was hospitalized again because of deterioration of...

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition in the region of the fibrous body between the mitral and aortic valve, the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIVF), that has been reported as a sequela of endocarditis and surgical trauma. MAIVF rarely occurs on native aortic valve after infective endocarditis (IE). It is often fatal because of its rapid progress, high rates of rupture and recurrence, and ...

We present a case of successful surgical resection of a giant left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm that developed 5 yr after mitral valve replacement (MVR). A 59-yr-old female was admitted with exertional chest pain radiating to left arm and back. 64-slice multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) revealed significant stenosis on the ostium of the first diagonal branch of the left anterior desce...
