Abstract

A 36-year-old patient was referred because of fatigue and decreased exercise tolerance 20 years after separate aortic valve replacement and aortic root reconstruction. The presence of a loud systolic ejection murmur and persistent left ventricular hypertrophy led to the diagnosis of severe supravalvular aortic flow obstruction by indirect compression of a large pseudoaneurysm.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.
