	Abstract

Top Abstract Footnotes References

 
A case of bacterial endocarditis from an aortic valve prosthesis is described in which subannular pseudoaneurysm caused discontinuity of the aorta and left ventricle. Successful repair was accomplished using compound sponge-felt to bolster the left ventricular outflow tract and to obliterate the aneurysm.
