“…The most important complication is sudden death due to rupture. In addition, they can cause aort and mitral regurgitation, and compression on pulmonary artery or coronary arteries [5,8]. Interestingly, the aneurysm in the present case had a compression on the left atrium which was not previously reported in the other cases.…”

“…Most of the reported cases were from Africa and India [1][2][3][4]. Although subaortic left ventricular aneuysm are usually congenital, it has been reported that they can be developed due to infection or trauma [4][5][6]. In this case report, we present a congenital, calcific subaortic left ventricular aneursym associated with saccular descending aortic aneursym in descending thoracic aorta.…”

A huge subaortic left ventricular aneursym was diagnosed in an asymptomatic 22-year-old male patient. The walls of aneurysm were calcific and compressed the left atrium. Also, a saccular descending aortic aneursym and moderate mitral insufficiency associated with subaortic left ventricular aneurysm were found in the current case. Up to now, the coexistence of congenital left ventricular aneurysm and saccular aortic aneursym has not been reported in the literature. We present the first case of congenital left ventricular aneurysm combined with saccular aortic aneurysm in descending thoracic aorta in this case report.

“…Various case reports in literature have mentioned it after history of infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction, chest trauma, cardiac surgery, prosthetic aortic valve implantation, and following closure of outlet type ventricular septal defect. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Our patient did not have history of any of these associated causative factor. In our case even remote speculation of LVOT pseudoaneurysm was difficult and, therefore, a unique one.…”

“…The LVOT pseudoaneurysm has been reported in patients having history of cardiac surgery, myocardial infarction, prosthetic aortic valve replacement, infective endocarditis, chest trauma and congenital heart diseases particularly outlet type of ventricular septal defect. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Mitral -aortic intervalvular fibrosa is predominantly fibrous, avascular, and is prone to infection and trauma which can lead to aneurysm formation. [8] The symptomatology is usually vague and is secondary to obstruction produced by the aneurysmal sac of the surrounding structures like LVOT, coronary arteries, pulmonary artery, left atrium, and left main bronchus or it may be fatal if it ruptures in these structures.…”

Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) pseudoaneurysm is a rare occurrence and may produce clinically unpredictable symptoms. A very few cases of LVOT pseudoaneurysm are reported and there has always been a predisposing factor in these reported cases such as history of infective endocarditis, myocardial infarction, prosthetic aortic valve replacement or chest trauma. Our patient did not have the above predisposing conditions. Intra operative transesophageal echocardiography helped patient management and guided the surgical team in securing and isolation of the aneurysmal sac from the LVOT.

“…Bhagwat et al. (11) are of opinion that the presence of subaortic aneurysm is an indication for early surgical intervention. Subvalvular aortic aneurysms can also be a result of a congenital defect at the valve annulus (1).…”

Subaortic Pseudoaneurysm of the Left Ventricle Complicating Staphyloccal Endocarditis*

Subaortic pseudoaneurysms are rare but can be a cause of sudden death in young individuals. This case report involves a 20-year-old Vietnamese male who died suddenly from rupture of a subaortic pseudoaneurysm with resultant hemopericardium with tamponade. He had a history of bicuspid aortic valve with recent but healed Staphylococcal endocarditis. A review of the literature reveals few similar cases and enlightens the association between aortic bicuspid valve, endocarditis, and subvalvular aortic aneurysm. The pathogenesis as well as recent studies that identified aneurysm predisposing genes in patients with bicuspid aortic valve will be discussed.
