Abstract
Ventricular wall rupture after mitral valve replacement is an infrequent but dreaded complication. We have experienced this problem in two separate instances of type III left ventricular rupture and report the successful repair by a novel technique with the use of a new sealant, the AdvaSeal (FocalSeal), in a sandwitch repair procedure.
