Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis Complicated by Left Ventricular Pseudoaneurysm
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication that can result from mitral valve replacement. Proper follow-up imaging can help to detect this potentially fatal complication and identify areas of concern. Infective endocarditis following mitral valve replacement can occur and further lead to...

description | Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication that can result from mitral valve replacement. Proper follow-up imaging can help to detect this potentially fatal complication and identify areas of concern. Infective endocarditis following mitral valve replacement can occur and further lead to the development of a pseudoaneurysm. We describe a case of left ventricular aneurysm in the setting of infective endocarditis following mitral valve replacement and present radiologic images from various modalities detailing the major findings. |
