After ASO, the original pulmonary root and valve, which function in the systemic position as the neo-aortic root and valve respectively, are exposed to the systemic blood pressure, resulting in aortic root dilatation and valve insufficiency in some patients. One of the risk factors for these complications is a history of prior pulmonary artery banding (PAB). Complex TGA anatomy, including transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect (TGA-VSD) or double outlet right ventricle and ventricular septal defect (DORV-VSD), is also an independent risk factor for neo-aortic dilatation and aortic valve regurgitation. Aortic valve and root replacement is sometime necessary for the patients with these pathologies long-term after ASO. Here, we present a patient who had persistent aortic sinus dilatation and aortic valve insufficiency since ASO and necessitating aortic root and valve replacement 15 years after ASO preceded by PAB. The patient underwent Bentall operation and his clinical course was favorable. Histological findings after root replacement revealed no remarkable structural difference between neo-aortic wall (originally pulmonary artery) and original aortic wall.</p>","PeriodicalId":13285,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10728024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138829498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A case of prosthetic aortic valve infection progressing from a confined intramural abscess to a ruptured abscess communicating with the aorta and forming a large pseudoaneurysm is described. Additionally, data from all cases and case series, published between 2000 and 2021, was analyzed. A PUBMED search for the keywords \"aortic root mycotic aneurysm,\" \"aortic root abscess AND infective endocarditis,\" and \"aortic root mycotic aneurysm AND infective endocarditis\" yielded 152 publications (with 157 cases described): Aortic pseudoaneurysm is more common in males (80.9%, <i>n</i> = 127). Mean age is 51 years (4 months-84 years). The most common symptom is fever (68.5%, <i>n</i> = 102). Mean time until diagnosis is 27.2 days. Embolic complications are present in 17.8% (<i>n</i> = 28) at diagnosis. Most cases are due to valvular infections (<i>n</i> = 72 cases, 45.9%). Prior cardiac surgery is documented in 49.0% (<i>n</i> = 77). The mean time interval for developing aortic root abscess following heart surgery is 32.2 months. 22.3% (<i>n</i> = 35) are immunocompromised. Aetiological agents were <i>Staphylococcus</i> sp. (34.1%, <i>n</i> = 47) and <i>Streptococcus</i> sp. (23.2%, <i>n</i> = 32). Mean antimicrobial therapy lasts 58.5 days. Outcome with surgery is superior to medical treatment: overall inpatient mortality 18.5% (<i>n</i> = 27); with surgery 12.2% (<i>n</i> = 15 out of 123 patients), with only medical management 47.8% (<i>n</i> = 11 out of 23 patients). In conclusion, aortic root pseudoaneurysm occurs most commonly in middle-aged male patients. History of prior aortic procedures is commonly present. Correct diagnosis hinges on detailed history, transoesophageal echocardiography, and computed tomography (CT) aorta. Surgery is the preferred therapeutic option.</p><p><strong>Supplementary information: </strong>The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12055-023-01580-x.</p>","PeriodicalId":13285,"journal":{"name":"Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10728390/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43281322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
