New type of left ventricular rupture during redo mitral valve replacement. A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the case of a 41 years old woman who presented with massive bleeding after redo mitral valve replacement. A Left ventricular rupture, different from the three known types of wall rupture was hardly identified and controlled with extreme difficulty. The patient died eight days postoperatively due to disseminated intravascular coagulopathy. Retrospective analysis of the Echocardiographic examination was highly suggestive of abnormal position of the previously implanted mitral valve bioprosthesis with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and weakness of the posterior wall of the left ventricular outflow tract.

One difficulty with external repair of left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement is collateral bleeding in friable myocardium adjacent to the rupture. The bleeding is caused by tension on the closing sutures, whether or not pledgets have been used. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman who underwent an uneventful mitral valve replacement. After cardiopulmonary bypass was termi...
