    Left ventricular rupture in the atrioventricular groove is a rare complication after mitral valve replacement. This study details a successful repair technique for a delayed rupture, offering hope for this usually fatal condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Cardiac Surgery
    • Medical Complications

    Background:

    • Mitral valve replacement (MVR) is a common procedure.
    • Rupture of the left ventricle in the atrioventricular (AV) groove is a rare but often fatal complication post-MVR.

    Observation:

    • A case of delayed type I left ventricular rupture following MVR is presented.
    • The specific surgical technique for successful repair is detailed.

    Findings:

    • Successful surgical repair of a delayed left ventricular rupture in the AV groove was achieved.
    • The study reviews existing literature and adds three additional cases from the authors' experience.

    Implications:

    • This successful repair technique offers a potential treatment for a previously near-fatal complication.
