[Incomplete ventricular laceration post mitral valve change. Report of a case and review of the literature].
There are numerous reports concerning left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement, and it has been classified according to location, treatment and prognosis. A somewhat less terrific complication has appeared as modifications have been introduced to the surgical technique, decreasing the frequency of rupture, but otherwise increasing the frequency of incomplete laceration, which has seldom appeared in literature. We review the case of a patient with incomplete left ventricular laceration after mitral valve replacement.
