Key result
Surgical patch closure treated an acquired Gerbode defect (left ventricle to coronary sinus) following mechanical mitral valve replacement and failed percutaneous closure.
Surgical patch closure can be used to manage an acquired Gerbode defect following mechanical mitral valve replacement after failed percutaneous closure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May warrant surgical consideration for rare refractory acquired Gerbode defects; leaves open comparative outcome data.
We report the management of an acquired Gerbode defect, from the left ventricle to the coronary sinus, following mechanical mitral valve replacement. Following a failed percutaneous closure, surgical patch closure of the defect was performed.
