Rapid development of coronary arterial stenosis following valve replacement: an unusual cause of myocardial ischemia.

abstract：:Mycotic aneurysm formation is a rare and potentially fatal sequela of bacteremia. We present the cases of 2 octogenarians who had surgically confirmed mycotic aneurysms that involved the ascending aorta, with contained rupture (pseudoaneurysm).
