Repair of Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm Due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Abstract:
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a clinically heterogeneous autoimmune disease that frequently affects young women. The risk of cardiovascular events is higher in patients with this disease than in the general population. In this study, we report a patient who developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm with no etiological factor other than systemic lupus erythematosus. Dor ventriculoplasty and mitral ring replacement were performed as surgical treatment. The case is shared because of the rarity of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm due to systemic lupus erythematosus and successful pseudoaneurysm repair.
