Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle (LV) is a rare cardiac disease that occurs after myocardial infarction or cardiac surgery. Because patients frequently present with nonspecific symptoms, a high index of suspicion is needed to make the diagnosis. This report describes an unusual case demonstrating a large LV pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement performed 30 years earlier.

Background: There has been a significant increase in the utilization of non-mechanical valves in the aortic position over time. However, details in reinterventions after aortic root replacement (ARR) with non-mechanical prosthesis were limited in the literature, despite the potential importance of reinterventions in the lifetime management of aortic valve disease.
Methods: This is a single-center retrospective study, identifying all patients who underwent ARR with allograft, xenografts, and stented bioprosthetic valved conduit from 2010 to 2020.

Background: Redo mitral valve surgery by re-sternotomy approach has challenges such as bleeding and organ injury due to adhesion dissection, sternal bone infection, and poor field of view of mitral valve. On the other hand, redo mitral valve surgery via a right mini-thoracotomy approach appears to address these challenges. We successfully performed a double right mini-thoracotomies approach for mitral valve replacement and pseudoaneurysm repair under the beating-heart condition.
