Abstract:
Spontaneous rupture of the left ventricular posterior wall after mitral valve replacement is a severe complication and is associated with high mortality rate. This complication was first described in 1967 by Roberts and Morrow, which describe the results of autopsy of two patients. In leading clinics around the world left ventricular wall ruptures after mitral valve replacement account for up to 20% of causes of hospital mortality. Currently there is no clear-cut strategy of treatment of this complication. In this article we present analysis of both traditional and non-traditional methods of treatment of this complication as well as own small positive and negative experience.
