Abstract:
A 11 years-old male child, with supravalvar aortic stenosis who had as complications aortic endarteritis and mycotic aneurysm formation in the ascending aorta. The aneurysms were diagnosed by a control echocardiogram at the end of an apparently successful clinical treatment of endocarditis. Angiography confirmed the diagnosis and the aneurysms were surgically resected. Six months after surgery the patient is doing well.
