Stroke in patient with an intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm and aortic pseudoaneurysm

Pseudoaneurysm of the Mitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa in a Patient After Radio Frequency Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

“…11,12 Another unusual manifestation is stroke, resulting from embolization of the thrombus within the pseudoaneurysm of the MAIVF. 13 In our patient, no symptoms were attributed to the pseudoaneurysm of the MAIVF.…”

A rare case of mitro-aortic intervalvular fibrosa aneurysm evolving in the para-aortic cavity

“…In the delay of surgical intervention, it can rupture into the pericardium with consequent acute tamponade, or into the left atrium resulting in acute severe mitral incompetence [1]. Acute myocardial ischemia, secondary to coronary compression, rupture into the aorta and thromboembolism have also been described [3,4]. The MAIF aneurysm represents an absolute indication to prompt surgical intervention, especially when progressive enlargement is documented by serial transesophageal studies.…”

Large unruptured Pseudoaneurysm of Mitral-Aortic Intervalvular Fibrosa-Managed Conservatively for Three Years: Case Report and Review of Literature

“…Complications of P-MAIVF include rupture into left atrium leading to supra-annular mitral regurgitation an consequent acute heart failure, rupture into pericardial cavity causing cardiac tamponade, systolic compression of left coronary artery causing angina, rupture towards chest wall producing fistula, stroke due to thromboembolismand sudden death. [13][14][15][16][17] Echocardiography is the primary imaging modality for the diagnosis of P-MAIVF. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is superior to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for diagnosing P-MAIVF.…”
