| Summary: | We describe the treatment of a 54-year-old man with a history of methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus pericarditis who presented with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm
following prior left anterior thoracotomy pericardial window. Surgical intervention included
pseudoaneurysm repair using a wide patch. Additionally, an attempted mitral valve
repair was converted to replacement due to intraoperative findings of significant calcification
of the mitral anterior leaflet and annulus, along with suspected rheumatic changes.
Our report highlights the management of concurrent cardiac pseudoaneurysm and mitral
annular calcification, emphasizing the role of comprehensive imaging both perioperatively
and intraoperatively in achieving durable outcomes. |
