title: Giant left ventricular aneurysm after recurrent mitral valve replacement.
abstract: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement has been reported in various studies; however, as far as we know, a true aneurysm after redo mitral valve replacement has not been reported in any article yet. We herein present a patient who developed a true aneurysm and atrioventricular complete block after third surgery of mitral valve. DDD pacemaker was implanted, albeit the patient refused reoperation for aneurysmectomy.
