Abstract

Operation was performed on a 61-year-old woman with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm, left ventricular-right atrial fistula, and left ventricular-coronary sinus fistula after mitral valve replacement. The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to these complications are described briefly, and the literature on intracardiac fistula after mitral valve replacement is reviewed.
