Figure 1
(A) Volume rendering reconstruction (VRr) showing the pseudoaneurysm (pAn). (B) VRr shows ventricular–arterial and prosthetic valve dehiscence. Muscular tissue (in red) fixed in aortic prosthesis. (C–F) Image sequence. 180° rotation from inside aorta showing the pAn involving the entire anterior half of the aortic annulus. A: anterior; AA: ascending aorta; AL: anterior left; ARI: anterior right inferior; LA: left atrium; LS: left superior; LV: left ventricle; LVOT: left ventricular outflow tract; P: posterior; PLS: posterior left superior; RI: right inferior.
