A case of pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa in a pediatric patient
Pseudoaneurysm of the mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa is a rare and potentially deadly aberrance of the cardiac architecture, with few reported pediatric cases. Complications can include rupture into the pericardium, ongoing infective endocarditis, arrhythmias, valvular dysfunction, thrombus for...

Although there have been cases which have gone solely with surveillance, the majority of these cases will have surgical intervention to reduce the risk of complications.
