Left ventricular rupture associated with mitral valve replacement

Ventricular Septal Perforation Caused by the Strut of a Mitral Valve Bioprosthesis

“…We present the strategy of the reoperation in which the sutures holding the repair patch were also used to support the new prosthesis. In addition to ventricular rupture and obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract by a mitral bioprosthesis, the risk of iatrogenic ventricular septal defect (VSD) should be considered when choosing, sizing, and implanting a mitral bioprosthesis.T here are several known complications to mitral valve replacement related to the size of the prosthesis, including ventricular rupture [1]. The use of a bioprosthesis is known to risk obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract if not correctly oriented [2].…”
