Abstract
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement (MVR) i s a rare but clinically significant complication. We report a case of two distinct left ventricular pseudoaneurysms after re-MVR, which was correctly diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography, and subsequen tly confirmed by surgery.
