Infective Pseudoaneurysm of the Anterior Mitral Leaflet Accompanied by Aortic Wall Vegetation
A 46-year-old man with a history of cigarette smoking was referred to our hospital for further evaluation of infective endocarditis. He had a history of fever of 45 days’ duration. Previously in workup for fever, the patient had undergone transthoracic echocardiography, showing vegetations on the aortic and mitral valves, hence his referral to our hospital. On physical examination, he was febri...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis of the Aortic Valve with Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflet Aneurysm.
Mitral valve leaflet aneurysm is a rare and potentially devastating complication of aortic valve endocarditis. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who had endocarditis of the native aortic valve and a concomitant aneurysm of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. Severe mitral regurgitation occurred after the aneurysm perforated. The patient showed no signs of heart failure and completed a 6-we...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis: Cause or Consequence of Delayed Anterior Mitral Leaflet Perforation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation?
We have read the article published by Cardenal et al in Revista Española de Cardiologı́a with great interest. Our understanding of the complications that develop during the follow-up of patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is still very limited, despite the prolific scientific literature that has appeared on the topic in recent years. For this reason, it see...
متن کاملPapillary fibroelastoma of the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve mimicking vegetation
The papillary fibroelastoma (PFE) is a rare and benign primary cardiac tumor, and the most frequently found tumor occurring in the cardiac valves. With the introduction of echocardiography, the diagnosis of these tumors in living patients has been reported sporadically. The PFEs have been found most often on valve leaflets, chordae tendineae, and both ventricles. We describe an interesting case...

متن کاملLeft atrial myxoma attached to the anterior mitral leaflet with symptoms suggestive of infective endocarditis.
The case of a 55-year-old woman is presented, whose clinical signs were initially suggestive of infective endocarditis. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) provided the diagnosis of a large left atrial myxoma attached to the anterior mitral leaflet. Perioperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) confirmed preoperative findings and assisted the surgical team in the assessment of tumour si...
