"Spontaneous" rupture of the left ventricle of the heart after reprosthetics of the mitral and aortic valves: сlinical observation that changed my view of the problem

Abstract

A clinical observation of a rare complication – type II heart rupture after mitral and aortic heart valve replacement is presented. It is shown that the internal lesion of the heart wall largely exceeds its external manifestations. Knowledge of the extent, depth and direction of the rupture may allow the integrity of the heart wall to be restored. We associate the cause of the development of the complication, in this case, with cardioversion.

Keywords:mitral valve replacement; left ventricular rupture
