Valvular Aortic Stenosis

In adults with significant sympthomatic aortic valve stenosis, aortic valve replacement is therapy of choice. Replacement of the diseased aortic valve with a prosthetic valve yields relief of left ventricular outflow obstruction. Myocardial remodeling with regression of mass transpires as the heart adapts to the new level of after load. In patients with moderate left ventricular hypertrophy improvement in diastolic function during the first year after aortic valve replacement is visible, while in patients with extreme myocardial hypertrophic changes it was slower.

AbstractLeft ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon complication following aortic valve replacement (AVR), occurring most frequently secondary to endocarditis. We present a case of a 47-year-old female with a history of intravenous drug abuse and a past surgical history of two AVRs (2001 and 2009 with aortic root replacement for endocarditis) who presented with symptoms of lower extremity weakness. Subsequent radiologic imaging revealed the presence of a left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm, which was surgically managed with a homologous conduit.
