Left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication following aortic valve replacement (AVR), occurring most frequently secondary to endocarditis. We present a case of a 47-year-old female with a history of intravenous drug abuse and a past surgical history of two AVRs (2001 and 2009 with aortic root replacement for endocarditis) who presented with symptoms of lower extremity weakness. Subsequent radiologic imaging revealed the presence of a left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm, which was surgically managed with a homologous conduit.
左心室流出道假性动脉瘤是主动脉瓣置换术(AVR)后一种罕见的并发症,最常见于感染性心内膜炎继发。我们报告一例47岁女性,有静脉药物滥用史,既往有两次主动脉瓣置换术手术史(2001年和2009年因感染性心内膜炎行主动脉根部置换术),出现下肢无力症状。随后的影像学检查显示存在左心室流出道假性动脉瘤,通过使用同种异体管道进行手术治疗。
