title: False aneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa after uncomplicated aortic valve replacement.
abstract: False aneurysms of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa are rare and usually complicate aortic valve endocarditis. We report a case of a false aneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa after recent bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement in the absence of endocarditis.
