Infections occurring after aortic valve surgery, whether valvuloplasty or replacement, commonly affect the valve itself. However infection of the aortic suture line alone is extremely rare. Such cases with endarteritis can be diagnosed at autopsy or by angiocardiography. In this report a patient with a vegetation at the aortic suture line which was diagnosed by echocardiography is presented. By two-dimensional echocardiography, a very mobile and echo-dense mass protruding from the ascending aorta was observed on the recordings through the suprasternal notch. This diagnosis was surgically confirmed and the patient was treated.
