Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) is a rare but lethal complication of mitral valve replacement (MVR) or myocardial infarction. Early correction is necessary for patients with extensive and expanding LVPA. We report a transcatheter closure of LVPA after MVR. A 63-year-old woman presented with an LVPA 2 months after MVR. The repeated computed tomographic scan and transthoracic echocardiography showed enhancement of pseudoaneurysm. The LVPA was closed successfully with Amplatzer Vascular Plug using a transcatheter approach.
左心室假性动脉瘤(LVPA)是二尖瓣置换术(MVR)或心肌梗死的罕见但致命的并发症。对于广泛和不断扩大的 LVPA 患者,早期矫正非常必要。我们报告了 MVR 后经导管闭合 LVPA 的病例。一名 63 岁女性在 MVR 后 2 个月出现 LVPA。反复的计算机断层扫描和经胸超声心动图显示假性动脉瘤增强。经导管途径使用 Amplatzer 血管塞成功闭合了 LVPA。
