Key result
Transesophageal echocardiography detected the rare coexistence of a mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm and a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm six years after a Bentall operation and mitral valve replacement.
Case Report (n=1)
Transesophageal echocardiography is a valuable imaging modality for diagnosing rare, late complications such as double cardiac pseudoaneurysms in patients with a history of complex valvular and aortic root surgeries.

Alerts clinicians to late dual pseudoaneurysms post-Bentall; leaves open their incidence and optimal surveillance.
A mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication after aortic and mitral valve replacement and aortic root replacement. A left ventricular pseudoaneurysm after mitral valve replacement is also a rare complication. Here, we describe a 48-year-old woman with a history of a Bentall operation and mitral valve replacement 6 years before, presenting with double pseudoaneurysms in the left ventricle and mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa, detected via transesophageal echocardiography.

Tahereh Davarpasand (2015) conducted a case report in Double cardiac pseudoaneurysm (mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm) (n=1). Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was evaluated on Detection of cardiac pseudoaneurysms. Transesophageal echocardiography detected the rare coexistence of a mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm and a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm six years after a Bentall operation and mitral valve replacement.
