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.
