title: [Left ventricular perforation following percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty. Its emergency surgical correction in situ. Apropos a case].
abstract: Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty is actually accepted as alternative to surgery for treatment of rheumatic mitral stenosis, although today it is not still free from troublesome complications like ventricular perforation. We present here a patient in which was performed a percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty and that developed a left ventricular perforation at the end of the procedure, with hyperacute cardiac tamponade, requiring an in situ surgical salvagement on an emergency basis, performing a successful repair of the ventricular rupture in the own catheterization laboratory.
