Intra-operative echocardiography by the anesthesiologist can aid in identifying patients at risk for left ventricular rupture post-mitral valve replacement, facilitating early diagnosis and successful repair.
Bisoyi et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Left ventricular rupture post mitral valve replacement (n=1). Surgical repair of left ventricular rupture was evaluated on Survival and recovery. Emergent surgical repair of a type III left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement resulted in successful salvage and survival of the patient at 2 years follow-up.
