Rupture of the left ventricle is a dreadful complication after mitral valve replacement.It is infrequent but potentially lethal. We have experienced a case of sudden hemorrhagic shock immediately after arriving at intensive care unit postoperatively and revealed left ventricle rupture on resternotomy.The possible mechanism and surgical maneuver are reviewed and the preventive measures in aspect of anesthetic management are discussed.(Korean J Anesthesiol 2008; 54: 363∼5)
