title: Stroke in patient with an intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm and aortic pseudoaneurysm.
abstract: We describe a case of an intervalvular fibrosa pseudoaneurysm associated with a cerebrovascular accident. This case in unusual as the likely source of embolic stroke was thrombus from within the pseudoaneurysm. Transesophageal echocardiography also demonstrated a communication between the intervalvular fibrosa and the proximal aorta.
