The present perspective is a synthesis of published investigations in the setting of subvalvular aortic aneurysms. We identified 75 investigations and reviewed the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities used, surgical techniques employed, and their outcomes. Clinical presentation, radiographic findings, transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, electrocardiogram-gated computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging provided the diagnostic information and were used to define the disease entity before surgery. In this article, we have attempted to address several issues concerning establishment of diagnosis, varied clinical presentation, and their management. We submit that an increased appreciation of this disease entity will contribute to improved surgical management.

“…6) or into the mitral annulus. Other planes of dissection are possible with formation of both pseudo-and true aneurysms of the left ventricle [3,4], When the infection involves the mitral valve primarily ( fig. 7), the abscess may extend medially and anteriorly and into the interatrial septum or in a caudal direction into the ventricular septum.…”

“…The purpose of this communication is (1) to report our clinical experience at the Mayo Clinic with cardiac abscesses complicating infective endocarditis; (2) to in dicate the approximate incidence with which this occurs in patients with infective endocarditis; (3) to review the role of noninvasive techniques in the evaluation of pa tients with infective endocarditis and cardiac abscesses, and (4) to emphasize the present role of 2-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of this compli cation.…”

Noninvasive Detection of Cardiac Abscesses Complicating Infective Endocarditis

Cardiac abscesses are a major complication of infective endocarditis and contribute significantly to morbidity and mortality. The frequency of this complication is unknown. For this reason, the Mayo Clinic experience is reviewed. During a 10-year period from 1976 to 1985, 334 patients were diagnosed as having infective endocarditis. Of these, 39 (12%) had cardiac abscesses. Of the 39 patients with cardiac abscesses, 11 (28%) had variable degrees of A-V block not attributable to digitalis. Thirty of thirty-nine patients had 2-dimensional échocardiographie (2-DE) studies. Of the 30 patients with échocardiographie studies, a cardiac abscess was detected in 7 of 17 patients (41%) with native valve endocarditis and 2 of 13 patients (15%) with prosthetic valve endocarditis. Magnetic resonance imaging identified 1 case of cardiac abscess. The indications for surgical intervention are persistence of infection despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy or deterioration of the patient’s cardiovascular status.
