Delayed development of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare late complication of mitral valve prosthesis and requires early surgical intervention. Here we describe the occurrence of such a complication diagnosed 6-months after the valve surgery in a 60-year-old lady. The anatomic delineation of subannular left ventricular pseudoaneurysm using multiple imaging modalities including CT angiography is also being discussed.
左心室假性动脉瘤的延迟发生是二尖瓣人工瓣膜罕见的晚期并发症,需要早期手术干预。在此,我们描述了一名60岁女性在瓣膜手术后6个月诊断出的这种并发症的发生情况。同时也讨论了使用包括CT血管造影在内的多种成像方式对瓣环下左心室假性动脉瘤进行解剖学描绘。
