Abstract

Rheumatoid valvular heart disease and aortic valve replacement for a rheumatoid lesion have been previously reported in the literature. The authors report the first case of emergency surgery for acute aortic regurgitation due to necrosis and rupture of a rheumatoid granuloma: the anatomopathological lesions observed were patholognomic.
