[Periprosthetic false aneurysm after Bentall's operation: diagnosis with magnetic resonance imaging].
Periprosthetic false aneurysm due to dehiscence of a suture line represents a serious postoperative complications after Bentall's procedure, because of its asymptomatic presentation and spontaneous course towards progressive increase in size with high risk of sudden rupture. This type of complication justifies systematic radiologic follow-up. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, as proved by our two cases, is a reliable technique in the diagnosis of this complication requiring reoperation.
