Abstract

Pseudo-aneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIVF) is a rare complication of native or prosthetic valve endocarditis. Good imaging is the key to successful diagnosis of this rare entity. This report describes a pseudo - aneurysm of the MAIVF rupturing into left atrium in a patient with double valve replacement with special reference to 3-dimensional transesophageal echocardiographic imaging. <
