  • Title: [Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement].
    Author: Dübel HP, Gliech V, Borges AC, Kivelitz D, Rutsch W.
    Journal: Z Kardiol; 2003 Nov; 92(11):953-6. PubMed ID: 14634765.
    Abstract:
    We report about a woman with a rare complication after mitral valve replacement 24 years ago. The patient had a massive hemorrhage some hours after operation. We performed invasive diagnostics because of an increasing pressure gradient across the prosthesis and revealed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm. Before the planned reoperation the patient died suddenly. As the cause of death, we assumed a rupture of the pseudoaneurysm.
