Infective endocarditis leading to pulmonary pseudoaneurysm and severe pulmonary valve regurgitation: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

August 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China.

Rationale: Pulmonary pseudoaneurysm resulting from infective endocarditis is a rare complication in patients with congenital heart disease who have undergone conduit placement.

Patient Concerns: In this article, we report a rare case of late-onset bacterial infective endocarditis complicated by a pseudoaneurysm and severe pulmonary valve regurgitation in a 16-year-old girl with double-outlet right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, who had previously undergone a Rastelli procedure at age 15.

Diagnoses: Based on the patient's medical history and transthoracic echocardiography examinations and cardiac computed tomography angiography, a definitive diagnosis of late-onset bacterial infective endocarditis complicated by a pseudoaneurysm and severe pulmonary valve regurgitation was established.

Persistent sciatic artery is an uncommon congenital lower limb vascular variant resulting from persistent embryonic vasculature. While up to 20% of individuals remain asymptomatic, the most frequently seen complication associated with this artery is the development of a pseudoaneurysm in the gluteal region (48%). Pseudoaneurysms may result in thrombosis, embolisation into distal vessels and radicular pain due to compression of the adjacent sciatic nerve.
