Keywords: | Heart Ventricles; Rupture. Mitral Valve; Hemorrhage; Iatrogenic Diseases; Hemostatics | Issue Date: | 3-Dec-2021 | Publisher: | Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Cardiovascular | Serial title, monograph or event: | Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery | Volume: | 36 | Issue: | 6 | Abstract: | We describe one case of iatrogenic rupture of the left ventricle after mitral valve replacement and myectomy of the outflow tract. The cause and site of the rupture could not be identified, neither from the internal nor from the external examination. After unsuccessful use of hemostatic patches in the surface of the ruptured area, wrapping of the ventricles with a surgical gauze pad controlled the hemorrhage, hence saving the patient's life. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/103802 | ISSN: | 16789741 | DOI: | 10.21470/1678-9741-2020-0589 | Rights: | openAccess |
