A rare case of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis complicated with multiple fistula to peri aortic structure
Multiple aorto-cardiac cavity communications is very rare but important complication of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis. The case below illustrates multiple aorto-cardiac cavity fistula formation following prostethic aortic valve endocarditis presented with slowly progressive symptoms of heart failure. A brief review of surgical reconstruction and the existing literature are presented, i...
متن کاملAortic Valve Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an endovascular infection of cardiovascular structures – usually valves – but also large intra-thoracic vessels and intra-cardiac foreign bodies. It is typically caused by bacteria or fungi. In contrast, sterile thrombotic lesions are termed non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE). IE is generally characterised by lesions of vegetations composed of platelets,...
متن کاملValve selection in aortic valve endocarditis
Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a potentially life-threatening disease. Mortality and incidence of infective endocarditis have been reduced in the past 30 years. Medical treatment of aortic PVE may be successful in patients who have a prompt response after antibiotic treatment and who do not have prosthetic dysfunction. In advanced stages, antibiotic therapy alone is insufficient ...
متن کاملA rare case of embolic spondylo-discitis after treatment of aortic valve endocarditis
BACKGROUND Infective Endocarditis is associated with a high incidence of embolic events, commonly involving the central nervous system, spleen, kidney, lungs, heart and eyes. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of infective endocarditis with late embolization to the L5/S1 region of the spine leading to spondylo-discitis. The disc space infection presented ten days after completion of antibioti...
متن کاملMultiple Embolic Aortic Valve Endocarditis with Small Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Adult
A 50-year-old female was admitted to Pusan National University Hospital with complaints of fatigue and sweating. Echocardiography showed a small patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and highly mobile vegetations on the aortic valve. Emergency operation was performed due to the high risk of embolization and severe aortic regurgitation. When the pulmonary artery opened, we found unexpected fresh vegeta...
