RESUMEN
Echocardiography revealed 2 aneurysms in the mitral valve with mitral regurgitation and aortic regurgitation,in a 42-years-old man. He had had infective endocarditis due to Streptococcus 9 months before. A prolapse in the right coronary cusp without vegetation and 2 aneurysms in the anterior mitral leaflet were found intraoperatively. Aortic valve was replaced, and then mitral aneurysms were resected and repaired using his own pericardium. There has been almost no regurgitation or recurrence of infection over 3 years.
