Mycotic innominate artery pseudoaneurysm complicating mitral endocarditis.

چکیده
A 59-year-old man developed a fast-growing mycotic innominate artery pseudoaneurysm complicating medically-treated mitral endocarditis caused by methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus. The pseudoaneurysm was revealed by ultrasound of the supra-aortic trunks and confirmed by magnetic resonance angiography (Fig. 1). The surgical treatment was performed with resection of the pseudoaneurysm and vascular reconstruction using cryopreserved arterial homografts (Fig. 2).

Pseudoaneurysm is a rare condition in the region of the fibrous body between the mitral and aortic valve, the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIVF), that has been reported as a sequela of endocarditis and surgical trauma. MAIVF rarely occurs on native aortic valve after infective endocarditis (IE). It is often fatal because of its rapid progress, high rates of rupture and recurrence, and ...

Aortic mycotic aneurysms are a rare but life-threatening potential complication of infective endocarditis. Rapid deterioration of the vascular wall in highly focal areas makes these pseudoaneurysms particularly prone to rupture, resulting in uncontrolled aortic hemorrhage. While computed tomography angiography (CTA) is the imaging modality of choice for the evaluation of mycotic aneurysms, it i...
