Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract with reentry into the ascending aorta: an iatrogenic left ventricular ascending aortic fistula.
We report a patient with an iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular outflow tract with reentry into the ascending aorta above the level of a prosthetic aortic valve. This pathology has not been previously described and was well demonstrated by transthoracic echocardiography.
