Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm as a rare catastrophic complication to surgical repair of mitral valve endocarditis.

Introduction: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA) is rarely described in the medical literature, as a complication of mitral valve repair after infective endocarditis (IE) and only a few cases have been published until now.

Case Presentation: We reported a case of a woman in her forties without past medical history who underwent a successful surgical repair of mycotic pseudoaneurysm at the apex of the left ventricular after two months of mitral mechanical prosthetic valve replacement due to infective endocarditis.

Discussion: Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a rare condition with high associated morbidity and mortality.

Primary left atrial malignant mesenchymoma: A rare case of cardiac malignancy.

Introduction: Primary malignant cardiac mesenchymoma tumors are rarely described in the medical literature, with only a few published cases.

Case Presentation: We present a case of a primary malignant mesenchymoma in the left atrium extending to the left and right inferior pulmonary vein orifices, accompanied by mechanical obstruction of the mitral valve. The patient underwent surgical removal and radiotherapy.
