We present a case of a 75-year-old man who developed an early aortic bioprosthesis endocarditis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae complicated by aortic root pseudoaneurysm after Bentall procedure. A prompt surgical option was hypothesized, but we decided to wait and keep on clinical observation and antibiotic therapy. One year after discharge, we observed stable clinical conditions and echocardiographic findings. A question: to treat or not to treat by redo operation an infectious aortic root pseudoaneurysm?

Abstract
We present a case of a 75-year-old man who developed an early aortic bioprosthesis endocarditis due to Klebsiella pneumoniae complicated by aortic root pseudoaneurysm after Bentall procedure. A prompt surgical option was hypothesized, but we decided to wait and keep on clinical observation and antibiotic therapy. One year after discharge, we observed stable clinical conditions and echocardiographic findings. A question: to treat or not to treat by redo operation an infectious aortic root pseudoaneurysm?| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
