Title Of Article :
Aneurysm of membranous septum as a long-term complication of mechanical aortic valve replacement
Abstract :
We report a case of an unusual morphological complication of a mechanical aortic valve replacement which was observed as an aneurysm formation from the interventricular membranous septum during the first postoperative year. The aneurysm resulted in a functional impairment of the mechanical prosthesis with elevated pressure gradients and valve leak. However, due to the severe neurological status of the patient’s emergent administration, an aneurysmectomy and/or renewal of aortic valve prosthesis was not possible. We hereby present the clinical and echocardiographical evaluation of the case.
