Key result
Dacron patch repair successfully treats a large LV pseudoaneurysm post-MVR in a single case.
Why the study?
Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm after mitral valve replacement is a rare but potentially fatal complication requiring imaging-supported diagnosis and planned surgical treatment.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but life-threatening complication that can present years after mitral valve replacement and requires careful surgical planning.
Prestipino et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm (n=1). Surgical repair (dacron patch) was evaluated on Surgical success and survival. Surgical repair with a dacron patch successfully treated a large left ventricular pseudo-aneurysm in a 61-year-old man two years after mitral valve replacement.
