Sterile Aortic Root Abscess Mimicking Calcified Aortic Nodule: A Rare Case

Aortic root abscess or aortic annular abscess is a serious complication of aortic valve endocarditis. It usually occurs in patients with prosthetic aortic valve and coagulase-negative staphylococcal endocarditis. However, we came across a young individual of bicuspid aortic valve with no features...
