Type I left ventricular rupture after mitral valve replacement

R Devineni and FN McKenzie

Rupture of the left ventricle in the atrioventricular (AV) groove is a rare and usually fatal complication of mitral valve replacement (MVR). The successful repair of a delayed type I left ventricular rupture is described. The technique of repair is described, the literature reviewed, and three further cases from the authors' experience are reported.
