Evaluation of Congenital Mitral-aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa Aneurysm: Role of Multidetector Computed Tomography in Congenital Heart Disease
Mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa aneurysm is a rare disease entity whose aetiology remains uncertain. Most of the cases reported are believed to be a sequela of infective endocarditis. We present a case of congenital mitralaortic intervalvular fibrosa aneurysm, representing the first patient to be diagnosed at birth in the literature. This report illustrates the imaging features of mitral-ao...

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...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Annular subvalvular pseudoaneurysm is a rare example of left ventricle aneurysm described predominantly in young African people. These aneurysms are divided into two different types, namely, submitral or subaortic, with subaortic being the less frequent kind. The subaortic type is most often localized in the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa. To the best of our know...
متن کاملLeft ventricular outflow tract to left atrial communication secondary to rupture of mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa in infective endocarditis: diagnosis by transesophageal echocardiography and color flow imaging.
Infection of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa occurs most commonly in association with infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. Infection of the aortic valve results in a regurgitant jet that presumably strikes this subaortic interannular zone of fibrous tissue and produces a secondary site of infection. Infection of this interannular zone then leads to the formation of subaortic absc...
متن کاملMorphological Study of the Human Mitral-aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa
The mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa of the heart is of great clinical and surgical importance, because of its involvement in the anatomical and functional integrity of these two valves. In this work, we examined the morphology of the mitralaortic intervalvular fibrosa and its relationship to the mitral and aortic valves. Thirty formaldehyde-fixed adult human hearts of both sexes were dissec...
