Pseudoaneurysms of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa: dynamic characterization using transesophageal echocardiographic and Doppler techniques.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to provide a detailed description of echocardiographic and Doppler features of pseudoaneurysms involving the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa and to compare echocardiographic and aortographic findings. BACKGROUND Infection of the aortic valve may spread to the aortic annulus, resulting in ring abscesses or pseudoaneurysms, or both, of the intervalvular ...
متن کاملMitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Involvement by Takayasu’ Arteritis
Takayasu's arteritis is an inflammatory disease with a variety of manifestations, such as cardiac involvement. We describe a 52-year-old woman with clinical and echocardiographic manifestations mimicking infectious endocarditis, such as periaortic and mital-aortic intervalvular fibrosa abscess with extension to the anterior mitral leaflet. However, no infective tissue was discovered intraoperat...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiographic recognition of subaortic complications in aortic valve endocarditis. Clinical and surgical implications.
BACKGROUND Secondary involvement of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa and the anterior mitral leaflet (subaortic structures) can occur in patients with aortic valve endocarditis. The secondary involvement of these structures occurs as a result of direct extension of the infection from the aortic valve or as a result of an infected aortic regurgitant jet striking the ventricular surfaces o...
متن کاملMitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Pseudoaneurysm
Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIVF-P) usually ensues as a complication of endocarditis or aortic valve surgery. When large, symptomatic or related to complications (rupture, compression of adjacent structures, embolic events, mitral regurgitation or heart failure) it warrants surgical excision. The natural course of uncomplicated/asymptomatic MAIVF-Ps is largely un...
متن کاملA Rare and Life-Threatening Complication of Infective Endocarditis: Pseudoaneurysm of the Mitral - Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa.
UNLABELLED A 59 year-old previously healthy male was admitted to the hospital with fever reportedly several days in duration. His physical examination was unremarkable at first. Pneumonia was initially diagnosed, but acute pulmonary edema with a new grade III to and fro murmur developed 1 week later. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) disclosed a pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic interval...
