Deskripsi
Injury of the circumflex artery is an uncommon but dangerous complication during mitral valve surgery. We report the case of a patient who presented an occlusion of the circumflex artery after a minimally invasive mitral valve repair, which was treated with angioplasty in the immediate post-operative period.
