ABSTRACT
Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis is associated with valve ring abscess, conduction abnormalities and a grave prognosis. Aortic root abscess is a serious complication of infective endocarditis with high mortality. We report a case of a patient who had echocardiographic features resembling aortic root abscess along with severe aortic regurgitation, 6 weeks following aortic valve replacement. Valvular dehiscence led to perivalvular abscess like appearance. Infective endocarditis was exluded. He underwent a successful redo aortic valve surgery with slow recovery.
