Left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement is a rare but serious complication. Internal repair offers satisfactory long-term outcomes for survivors, though operative mortality remains high.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Cardiac Surgery Outcomes
  • Mechanical Circulatory Support

Background:

  • Left ventricular rupture is a critical complication following mitral valve replacement.
  • Understanding outcomes is crucial for surgical decision-making and patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the immediate and long-term outcomes of patients experiencing left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement.
  • To assess the efficacy of different repair strategies for left ventricular rupture.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study with a 20-year follow-up.
  • Analysis of 20 patients who underwent mitral valve replacement and subsequent left ventricular rupture repair.
  • Review of operative mortality and long-term survival data.

Main Results:

  • The majority of patients were female with rheumatic mitral valve disease.
  • Operative mortality was high, with 65% of patients dying post-repair.
  • Survivors experienced satisfactory long-term outcomes, with some developing late complications like false aneurysms or bioprosthetic failure.

Conclusions:

  • Internal repair of left ventricular rupture, preferably on cardiopulmonary bypass, is recommended.
  • Despite high operative mortality, long-term outcomes for survivors of left ventricular rupture repair are generally favorable.
