We report on a case of a false aneurysm at the access site after transapical aortic valve replacement. Although this is not the first case report about this issue, our case emphasizes the importance of follow-up echocardiography after transapical aortic valve replacement that focuses not only on prosthesis function, but also on detecting probable complications of the surgical access site.
我们报告了一例经心尖主动脉瓣置换术后穿刺部位假性动脉瘤的病例。尽管这并非关于此问题的首例病例报告,但我们的病例强调了经心尖主动脉瓣置换术后随访超声心动图的重要性,该检查不仅要关注人工瓣膜功能,还要检测手术穿刺部位可能出现的并发症。
