Kissing Ulcer of the Aortic Wall in a Patient with Aortic Valve Endocarditis
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 03/19/09

Garcia R et al. - The authors present a case of infectious aortic ulcer caused by aortic valve vegetation kissing. A 72-year-old woman who underwent operation for Streptococcus viridans aortic valve endocarditis presented with a “kissing ulcer” in the aortic wall disclosed by intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography. The aortic valve was replaced by a bileaflet prosthesis, and the ulcer was closed with a small patch of autologous pericardium after thorough inspection. Transesophageal echocardiography performed before discharge showed a good surgical result without signs of infection recurrence.
