Abstract

To our knowledge, we describe the first case of a pseudoaneurysm of the mitro-aortic intervalvular fibrosa fistulizing into both atria, following an aortic bacterial endocarditis and valve replacement.

Keywords: multimodality imaging; pseudoaneurysm of the mitro-aortic intervalvular fibrosa.
