Mycotic aneurysm of the left ventricular free wall complicating aortic valve endocarditis
چکیده انگلیسی

We report the case of a 34-year-old man with aortic valve infective endocarditis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, complicated by an aortic annular abscess. A 23-mm St. Jude HP aortic mechanical prosthesis was implanted. The pre-discharge transthoracic echocardiogram revealed a mycotic aneurysm of the basal posteroinferior wall, confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and it was decided to reintervene. The aneurysm was closed with a patch and the mitral valve had to be replaced.Although a small leak from the aneurysm patch persisted on the pre-discharge transesophageal echocardiogram, there was no trace of the aneurysm at nine-month re-evaluation.This case illustrates a rare complication of aortic valve endocarditis and shows the evolution of the mycotic aneurysm after closure via a transmitral approach.

ResumoHomem de 34 anos com endocardite infeciosa da válvula aórtica causada por estafilococo aureus meticilino resistente (MRSA), complicada por abcesso do anel aórtico. Na cirúrgica foi implantada prótese aórtica mecânica St. Jude 23HP. O ETT antes da alta evidenciou um aneurisma micótico no segmento basal da parede inferior do ventrículo esquerdo, confirmado por ressonância magnética cardíaca, tendo sido decidido reintervir. O aneurisma foi encerrado com retalho de pericárdio mas a válvula mitral teve de ser substituída.Apesar de persistir uma pequena fuga no ETE antes da alta, verificou-se resolução total da lesão no exame de reavaliação realizado nove meses depois.Este caso documenta uma complicação muito rara da endocardite da válvula aórtica e mostra a evolução do aneurisma micótico após encerramento por via transmitral.
