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...
