Key result
Bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis leads to rare mitral-aortic fibrosa pseudoaneurysm, septal aneurysm, and valve rupture.
Why the study?
Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa is a rare complication of native aortic valve endocarditis with limited reported cases.

May prompt vigilance for pseudoaneurysm in bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis; leaves open optimal management strategies.
Aortic valve endocarditis can lead to the destruction or perforation of the leaflets, ring abscess, fistula, or perivalvular regurgitation; less commonly, the regurgitation itself may result in secondary damage to subaortic structures. Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fi brosa is a rare complication of native aortic valve endocarditis. This region is a relatively avascular area and is prone to endocarditis infection and subsequent aneurysm formation. Herein, the case of a 33-year-old man who was diagnosed with bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis complicated by a pseudoaneurysm, an aneurysm, and aortic valve rupture is described.

Hicaz Zencirkıran Ağuş (2017) conducted a case report in Bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis (n=1). Bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis was evaluated. A 33-year-old man developed a rare pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa, a septal aneurysm, and aortic valve rupture as complications of bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis.
