title: Echocardiographic Detection of Two Distinct Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysms After Mitral Valve Replacement.
abstract: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement (MVR) is a rare but clinically significant complication. We report a case of two distinct left ventricular pseudoaneurysms after re-MVR, which was correctly diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography, and subsequently confirmed by surgery.
