Structured PICO

P
Population
A 59-year-old female who developed a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 5 years after mitral valve replacement, followed for 6 months post-surgery.
I
Intervention
Surgical resection of the left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, redo mitral valve replacement (MVR), tricuspid valve annuloplasty, and single-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
O
Outcome
Successful surgical resection and patient survival without complications.

A giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but severe late complication of mitral valve replacement that can be successfully managed with complex redo surgery.

Cite This Study

Min et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (n=1). Surgical resection, redo MVR, and CABG was evaluated on Patient outcome at 6 months. Surgical resection of a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, redo mitral valve replacement, and coronary artery bypass grafting were successfully performed with the patient doing well without complications at 6 months.
