Key result
Surgical repair using two pericardial patches to sandwich the rupture hole from the inside successfully treated a huge left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
Why the study?
LV rupture is a rare, often fatal complication of mitral valve replacement, and development of a pseudoaneurysm after its repair is exceedingly rare.
Population
One 78-year-old man with a huge LV pseudoaneurysm after repair of LV rupture during mitral valve replacement

Double pericardial patch sandwich succeeded in one huge LV pseudoaneurysm case; hypothesis-generating and requires validation before wider use.
Case Report (n=1)
A huge left ventricular pseudoaneurysm following left ventricular rupture during mitral valve replacement can be successfully treated using a double pericardial patch sandwich technique.
Hayashi et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after repair of left ventricular rupture during mitral valve replacement (n=1). Surgical repair using two pericardial patches to sandwich the rupture hole from the inside was evaluated on Successful treatment of LV pseudoaneurysm. Surgical repair using two pericardial patches to sandwich the rupture hole from the inside successfully treated a huge left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
