False subaortic aneurysm after surgery of calcified aortic stenosis. Apropos of a case treated successfully

: The authors report a case of false aneurysm of the posterior subaortic region of the left ventricle after a technically difficult surgical decalcification in a case of aortic stenosis. At reoperation, the surgeon used the femoral artery and both vena cavae for canulation. A direct approach of this "vascular" tumour, which was exterior to the great vessels, confirmed the diagnosis and enabled the localisation of the internal orifice inside the left ventricle. This was closed simply by suturing. No previous cases of this kind were found in the literature. This report underlines the necessity of taking the greatest care when decalcifying this region in order to avoid this type of serious complication.
