Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We present a patient with right-sided endocarditis associated with abdominal aortic pseudo-aneurysm presenting only with high fever and pulsating abdominal mass. A higher clinical awareness of aortic pseudoaneurysms associated with intracardiac lesions disease, leading to early computed tomography evaluation and prompt surgical intervention appears to offer the best chance of survival. In this aspect, single-stage surgical treatment of both endocarditis and the aortic pathology is necessary.
