Aneurysm of the anterior mitral leaflet is a rare complication of infective aortic valve endocarditis. The natural history of which is generally its rupture, with subsequent acute and severe mitral regurgitation. We describe a 78 years-old man without history of endocarditis, in whom transthoracic echocardiography was sufficient and transesophageal echocardiography was essential for the diagnosis of this lesion.

    This study suggests that differences in cardiac dimensions, as wells as in pulmonary and aorta outflow parameters, were found between juvenile and adult mice. However, mitral and tricuspid inflow parameters seem to be the similar between 3 weeks and 8 weeks mice. The reference values established in...

    Double valve replacement with reconstruction of the intervalvular fibrous body for infective endocarditis is a complex, technically challenging operation associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality. Nevertheless, being the only option available for such complex disease, it should be p...
