[triple Rupture of Aneurysm of the Mitral Valve in Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis].
The commonest form of cardiac valvular aneurysm is the thrombo-aneurysm of Ribbert (1924), which arises by perforation of an ulcer of the valve cusp into a hollow thrombotic mass and by organization undergoes fibrosis of varying degree. Reports of such aneurysms are not infrequent in the early reports of bacterial endocarditis, but aneurysms having well-organized, smooth, fibrous walls are rare...

There is only one previous report of a mitral valve aneurysm secondary to infective endocarditis demonstrated by angiography. Streptococcus milerinormally causes endocarditis in an older age group than the patient we describe. Some salient features of this increasingly ...
متن کاملStreptococcus pseudoporcinus subacute mitral valve endocarditis: A case report
This is a case of a patient with subacute Streptococcus pseudoporcinus endocarditis, who presented with subjective fever, weight loss, and mental status changes. Multiple blood cultures were positive for Streptococcus pseudoporcinus and echocardiogram revealed mitral valve vegetation. Antibiotics cleared his blood, but the patient underwent a mitral valve replacement. This article illustrates a...
متن کاملConservative surgery of the mitral valve in bacterial endocarditis.
Surgical repair of the mitral valve was undertaken in two young female patients during the active phase of bacterial endocarditis to eradicate persistent infection. Operation resulted in rapid resolution of infection with good haemodynamic results in both patients. A mitral valve prosthesis has the disadvantage for children of needing replacement because of growth, and for young women of leadin...
