Early IE is more aggressive than late prosthetic valve endocarditis. Mortality remains high, despite combined medical and surgical treatment. We present a case of early IE in aortic prosthetic valve complicated with paravalvular abscess, pseudoaneurysm and aorto- right atrial fistula.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAortic Valve ProsthesisEndocarditisParavalvular AbscessPseudoaneurysmA rare echocardiographic image of aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis complicated with paravalvular abscess, pseudoaneurysm and aorto-right atrial fistulaEditorial Material35914841486300113492-s2.0-85050597278Q3WOS:000444463800029Q410.1111/echo.14097
