Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (P-MAIVF) is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening condition. The most common pathogenic factors of P-MAIVF are infective endocarditis and surgical valve operation. Here, we report a rare case of P-MAIVF which occurred one year after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA).
A 31-year-old man developed a P-MAIVF one year after PTCA. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a pseudoaneurysm between the aortic root and the left atrium. Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) clearly demonstrated the orifice of the pseudoaneurysm. This case was initially diagnosed by ultrasound, and the prognosis was good after surgical repair.
We report a rare case of P-MAIVF that occurred one year after PTCA.
二尖瓣-主动脉瓣间隔纤维的假性动脉瘤(P-MAIVF)是一种不常见但潜在危及生命的疾病。P-MAIVF 的最常见致病因素是感染性心内膜炎和外科瓣膜手术。在这里,我们报告了一例罕见的 P-MAIVF 病例,该病例发生在经皮腔内冠状动脉成形术(PTCA)一年后。
一名 31 岁男性在 PTCA 后一年发生 P-MAIVF。经胸超声心动图(TTE)显示主动脉根部和左心房之间存在假性动脉瘤。三维经食管超声心动图(3D-TEE)清楚地显示了假性动脉瘤的开口。该病例最初通过超声诊断,手术修复后预后良好。
我们报告了一例罕见的 P-MAIVF 病例,该病例发生在 PTCA 一年后。
