Submitral Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm: Unusual and Late Complication of Cardiac Surgery
Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Anesthesia and Research - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Despite the background of advances in cardiac surgery procedures for higher risk population, the postoperative complication has already been a challenge for cardiac surgeon and Heart-Team. Future perspectives to exceed this challenge could be periodically patient’s follow up and advance diagnostic workup. We describe the diagnosis of a large sub mitral left Ventricle Pseudoaneurysm that was identified in a 59-year-old woman 17 years after she underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement for rheumatic valvular disease.
