Key result
In a series of 18 patients with left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement, the overall mortality rate was 61%, with combined internal and external repair techniques showing high success.
Why the study?
Left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement is very rare but often fatal, motivating this report of a single center's clinical experience.
Observational (n=18)
No
In patients experiencing rare but highly fatal left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement, a combined internal and external repair technique with bio-glue offers better hemostatic success than external repair alone.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support combined repair with bio-glue for post-MVR LV rupture; leaves open need for prospective validation given case-report design.
Van Hung Dung (2022) conducted an observational in Left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement (n=18). Surgical repair of left ventricular rupture was evaluated on Mortality rate. In a series of 18 patients with left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement, the overall mortality rate was 61%, with combined internal and external repair techniques showing high success.
