Repair of Left Ventricular Rupture Following Mitral Valve Replacement Concomitant With Left Atrial Reduction Procedure -Intracardiac Patch and Extracardiac Buttress Suture-

Search this article

Description

Rupture of the posterior wall of the left ventricle after mitral valve replacement is a dire complication associated with a very high mortality. This study reports a successful repair of type 1 left ventricular rupture, which occurred after mitral valve replacement concomitant with a left atrial reduction procedure, by combination of an intracardiac patch and an extracardiac buttress suture. In a case such as this, in which hemostasis is quite difficult to establish, this combination technique is particularly effective. (Jpn Circ J 2001;65:581-583)
