Double pseudoaneurysm, recurrent subvalvular aortic membrane and small left ventricular outflow tract in the same patient: who dares?

J Thorac Dis. 2017 May;9(Suppl 6):S547-S550. doi: 10.21037/jtd.2017.05.03.

Abstract

Patients with pseudoaneurysm in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) commonly present vague and nonspecific symptoms making the diagnosis difficult. We present the case of a 37-year-old patient with two subvalvular pseudoaneurysms in whom a combined resection surgery, enlargement of the LVOT, aortic valve replacement (AVR) and aortic root replacement were performed using the technique of Cabrol.

Keywords: Cabrol’s technique; Left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT); aortic root replacement; pseudoaneurysm.
