Percutaneous coronary intervention of an iatrogenic occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery after mitral valve replacement

Simon Awg Dello et al. Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care. 2020 Aug.

Abstract

Occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery by compromising sutures is a serious complication in patients undergoing mitral valve replacement. The majority of such patients have to undergo bypass surgery or redo mitral valve replacement. We report a case of an iatrogenic occlusion of the circumflex coronary artery after mitral valve replacement that was treated by percutaneous coronary intervention.

Keywords: Mitral valve replacement; percutaneous coronary intervention.
