  Abstract

We describe the incidental finding of an inter-valvular fibrosa pseudo-aneurysm in the absence of infective endocarditis 12 years after a re-do operation for aortic valve replacement in a patient whose initial pathology was bicuspid aortic valve stenosis.

Keywords: Aortic pseudo-aneurysm; False aneurysm; Aortic valve replacement
