[Calcification and healing of infectious myocardial pseudoaneurysms. Apropos of 2 cases].
The authors present two cases of infectious myocardial pseudo-aneurysms: the first was secondary to an intracardiac foreign body with mitral valve endocarditis; the second to septicaemia of urinary origin. Both cases progressed to calcification of the pseudo-aneurysm which appeared to be a mode of healing. Reviewed 20 and 19 years respectively after the initial episode, both patients have normal cardiac appearances apart from the residual myocardial calcification.
