Key result
Repair of left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement using a bovine pericardium patch and sutureless biological glue was successful, with the patient asymptomatic at 60 months.
Case Report (n=1)
The use of a bovine pericardium patch with sutureless biological glue is a viable technique for repairing left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement.
May offer durable repair for rare post-MVR LV rupture; single-case data leaves open need for larger validation.
Rupture of the left ventricular wall after mitral valve replacement is an infrequent but lethal complication. Reporting correction technique of ventricular rupture with bovine pericardium patch secured with glue and without suturing: a 51 years-old female patient, with double rheumatic mitral lesion, severe stenosis and discrete insufficiency, who had a mitral valve replacement. During surgery, the patient presented a ventricular rupture of the posterior wall (atrioventricular disruption), which was successfully repaired using bovine pericardium with sutureless biological glue over the epicardium of the damaged area. Sixty months after surgery the patient has no symptoms.

Costa et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement (n=1). Bovine pericardium patch with sutureless biological glue was evaluated on Symptom status at 60 months. Repair of left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement using a bovine pericardium patch and sutureless biological glue was successful, with the patient asymptomatic at 60 months.
