This case demonstrates that delayed presentation of traumatic mitral leaflet perforation after a penetrating cardiac wound can be successfully managed with urgent surgical valve reconstruction and pericardectomy.
Басараб et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Penetrating cardiac wound with anterior mitral leaflet perforation (n=1). Surgical mitral valve reconstruction and subtotal pericardectomy was evaluated on Clinical recovery and valve competence. Surgical reconstruction using a xenopericardial patch and annuloplasty ring successfully corrected a traumatic anterior mitral leaflet perforation, with the patient remaining asymptomatic at 1 year.
