Sumario:In infective endocarditis, the perivalvular abscess is a known complication with an incidence of more than 22%-29%, but the primary presentation of a healed aortic abscess without any clinical features of infective endocarditis is very rare. These sorts of cases are scarcely documented throughout literature. We present a successful surgical closure of healed perivalvular abscess cavity with aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair.
