Pseudoaneurysm of Mitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Following Regurgitation of Congenital Bicuspid Aortic Valve in a 63-year-Old Patient: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Anesthesia and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Pseudoaneurysm of mitral aortic intervalvular fibrosa P-MAIVF is a rare but potentially catastrophic condition P-MAIVF is often associated with infective endocarditis aortic valve surgery or chest trauma However P-MAIVF attributed to congenital abnormality is even rarer Here we present a case of chronic non-infective P-MAIVF associated with congenital bicuspid aortic valve In the present case there is neither a history nor sign suggesting infective endocarditis nor positive blood or tissue culture results The preoperative Transesophageal echocardiography TEE examination detected P-MAIVF with severe regurgitation of bicuspid aortic valve which was misdiagnosed as pure bicuspid aortic valve regurgitation by transthoracic echocardiogram TTE Consequently TEE provides valuable information on the diagnosis and choice of surgery for the patient
