Treatment of delayed rupture of the left ventricle after mitral valve replacement.
Rupture of the left ventricle following mitral valve replacement is a catastrophic complication with deadly consequences. We report here the case of a 75-year-old man who underwent elective mitral valve replacement for severe mitral regurgitation. Delayed type 1 rupture of the left ventricle developed 3 hours postoperatively in the intensive care unit. A salvaging maneuver was used, which gained time, allowing reoperation and successful intraventricular repair.

Carbamazepine-related hyponatremia following cardiopulmonary bypass.
A 67-year-old man on long-term carbamazepine therapy underwent elective coronary artery bypass grafting. Following an initially uncomplicated recovery, he developed symptomatic hyponatremia. The symptoms and biochemical abnormality improved after gradual discontinuation of carbamazepine. We discuss the association between carbamazepine and hyponatremia and the causes of hyponatremia after cardiopulmonary bypass. Surgeons should consider stopping carbamazepine before operations with cardiopulmonary bypass.
