Percutaneous closure of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm

CASE PRESENTATION This is the case of a 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of permanent atrial fibrillation treated with acenocoumarol, and rheumatic valvular heart disease that appears as a double severe mitral lesion and severe tricuspid regurgitation due to annular dilatation with dysp...

description CASE PRESENTATION This is the case of a 72-year-old woman with a past medical history of permanent atrial fibrillation treated with acenocoumarol, and rheumatic valvular heart disease that appears as a double severe mitral lesion and severe tricuspid regurgitation due to annular dilatation with dyspnea-like symptoms. The cardiologic examination completed before planning valve replacement surgery discarded the presence of coronary lesions. The case was presented to the medical-surgical committee and approved for mitral valve replacement, and tricuspid annuloplasty. Procedure was performed electively with a 25 mm On-X 25 prosthetic mechanical mitral valve (Life Technologies, GA, United States) followed by tricuspid annuloplasty with annular prosthesis. After weaning from extracorporeal support and circulation machine, a hemorrhage was revealed due to the rupture of the atrioventricular groove in the vicinity of left atrial appendage that was repaired with suture reinforcement on the pericardium and Teflon until achieving hemostasis. In this context, the patient showed hemodynamic impairment, and ventricular function deterioration that required escalating the inotropic support, and intra-aortic balloon pump implantation. The postoperative period at the critical care unit was torpid. Five days after surgery, the patient broke a fever in the context of ventilator-associated pneumonia. That is why a thoracic computed tomography scan was performed...
