Perforated aneurysm on the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve.

We present a case of a 71-year-old homeless diabetic man who was hospitalized due to bilateral cellulitis of the lower limbs. Because of severe calcific aortic stenosis, he had undergone valve replacement by a bioprosthesis 3 years earlier. Except from the two preadmission days, he reported no fever, malaise, or weight loss at any time after surgery.
