“…As reported previously in the literatures, rarely, there is a risk of pseudoaneurysm formation in the LA after valvular surgery. This entity also has been reported in other conditions such as infective endocarditis, 1,2 percutaneous coronary intervention 3 or after pneumonectomy 4 …”

A 67 years old woman with history of surgical Mitral valve replacement underwent transoesophageal echocardiography for evaluation of mild dyspnoea. It revealed a large narrow‐necked outpouching from medial portion of the inferior wall of the left atrium (LA) that was extended to the interatrial septum. A diagnosis of the LA pseudoaneurysm was made. It contained a fresh clot. Five days later, the patient presented with an acute inferior ST‐elevation myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography revealed an occluded right coronary artery at its distal part by a large thrombus. Thromboaspiration was done and resulted in restoration of a Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction Score (TIMI) flow 3 without underlying stenosis.

A 6-year-old boy with a history of infective endocarditis (IE) presented with recurrent disease manifesting as left hip arthritis and severe mitral regurgitation. He developed a rare complication – a left atrial pseudoaneurysm. Despite the absence of classic fever and systemic symptoms, imaging revealed the recurrence and guided surgical repair. This case highlights the complexities of recurrent IE in children and underscores the importance of high clinical suspicion and imaging modalities like echocardiography for diagnosis and management.

“…Azhar and Abu-Ouf ( 4 ) reported a similar case in a 13-year-old child with no history of cardiac disease. Isolated cases of pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle ( 5 ) and left atrium ( 6 ) have been reported as a complication of infective endocarditis.…”
