Area of Science:
- Vascular Surgery
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Trauma Surgery
Background:
- Mechanical mitral valve prostheses can induce iatrogenic coagulation defects.
- Pseudoaneurysms are rare but serious complications, particularly in patients with bleeding risks.
- Minor blunt trauma can precipitate vascular events in susceptible individuals.
