Key result
Post-AVR subvalvular pseudoaneurysm poses high mortality risk and warrants prompt surgical repair following catheterization.
Why the study?
Subvalvular pseudo-aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal complication of aortic valve replacement requiring surgical intervention upon diagnosis.

Case report
Warrants surgical referral for catheter-detected post-AVR subvalvular pseudoaneurysm; leaves open standardized prevention and LVOT repair strategies.
Subvalvular pseudo-aneurysm is a rare and potentially lethal complication of aortic valve replacement. The demonstration of such pathology by cardiac catheterization should be considered an indication for surgery. Recommendations for prevention of this false aneurysm and for surgical repair of the left ventricular outflow tract are discussed in this case report.
