“…The incidence of a false ventricular aneurysm is 0.1% in patients with myocardial infarction and 0.8% in patients who have undergone mitral valve replacement surgery [ 4 , 10 , 11 ]. The majority of patients were White (75%), and male (67%), and the mean age at presentation was 60 years, according to one study [ 4 , 12 ].…”

A ventricular aneurysm can be pseudo or true; it is a rare complication of myocardial infarction induced by an intra-myocardial dissecting hematoma due to fragile myocardium. Ventricular wall rupture takes place two to four days after myocardial infarction when coagulative necrosis and inflammatory infiltrate and lysis of myocardial connective tissue results in weakening of infarcted myocardium. Acute cardiac wall ruptures are mostly fatal; an unwittingly located pericardial adhesion can abort a rupture resulting in a false aneurysm. The wall of a false aneurysm consists of the epicardium in contrast to a true aneurysm, which is composed of the myocardium. True aneurysms are complications seen in transmural infarcts. Thinned-out scar tissue paradoxically bulged during systole, and toughened fibrotic wall rupture doesn't usually occur. Deaths in subjects with true ventricular aneurysms occur due to mural thrombus, arrhythmias, and heart failure. We encountered a case of a true aneurysm, as reported below.

“…However, pseudoaneurysm development from prosthetic infective endocarditis (IE) and mitral valve replacement (MVR) have been reported in the literature. 1 , 2 An important clinical feature of pseudoaneurysms is their propensity for further rupture with fatal outcomes. Here, we describe a mitral valve annulus pseudoaneurysm that was diagnosed 12 months after initial visualization of the mitral valve abscess cavity on the native mitral valve with echocardiogram and was thought to be secondary to IE.…”

Background The delayed development of a mitral valve annulus pseudoaneurysm is a rare and late complication of a native mitral abscess cavity. Case summary Currently, there are no documented cases of a pseudoaneurysm developing from an abscess cavity of the posterior annulus of the native mitral valve. We report a case of a patient who presented with worsening progressive shortness of breath that was found to be secondary to a pseudoaneurysm. This was detected by 2D echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography angiography. Discussion In our case, the patient developed a late complication of a ventricular pseudoaneurysm originating from the mitral annular area of the abscess cavity. Per the surgical literature, one method to avoid the aforementioned complication is via cavity repair with a bovine patch.

SummaryIn 1996, Slovenia witnessed a profound transformation in its cardiac care landscape with the establishment of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at the University Medical Centre Maribor. This momentous milestone heralded the birth of the nation’s second heart surgery center revolutionizing cardiovascular care accessibility. Today, the Department of Cardiac Surgery stands as a regional hub, delivering specialized cardiac surgical services to Slovenia’s northeastern region and beyond. Its unwavering commitment to excellence, patient-centered care, and adherence to international guidelines reflects its dedication to providing top-tier cardiac care. As the department commemorates its 25th anniversary, this article offers a reflective overview of its establishment, development, growth and future trajectory for further development in an ever-changing era of cardiovascular medicine. The article also highlights the department’s active involvement in international collaborations, scientific research, medical education, and innovations in minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
