Infective Endocarditis: Cause or Consequence of Delayed Anterior Mitral Leaflet Perforation After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation?
We have read the article published by Cardenal et al in Revista Española de Cardiologı́a with great interest. Our understanding of the complications that develop during the follow-up of patients who have undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is still very limited, despite the prolific scientific literature that has appeared on the topic in recent years. For this reason, it see...
متن کاملAn isolated anterior mitral leaflet cleft: a case report
INTRODUCTION The anterior mitral leaflet cleft is an unusual congenital lesion most often encountered in association with other congenital heart defects. The isolated anterior leaflet cleft is quite a rare anomaly and is usually cause of mitral valve regurgitation. The importance of the lesion is that it is often correctable. When feasible, cleft suture and, eventually, annuloplasty are prefera...
متن کاملInfective Endocarditis of the Aortic Valve with Anterior Mitral Valve Leaflet Aneurysm.
Mitral valve leaflet aneurysm is a rare and potentially devastating complication of aortic valve endocarditis. We report the case of a 48-year-old man who had endocarditis of the native aortic valve and a concomitant aneurysm of the anterior mitral valve leaflet. Severe mitral regurgitation occurred after the aneurysm perforated. The patient showed no signs of heart failure and completed a 6-we...
متن کاملEndocarditis caused by Abiotrophia defectiva
A 35-year-old man with pre-existing rheumatic heart disease and aortic regurgitation (AR) presented with intermittent fever, ankle swelling and clinical evidence of endocarditis. Transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) revealed vegetations and destruction of the aortic valve (AV). Blood cultures grew a gram positive coccobacillus which was phenotypically identified as Abiotrophia defectvia (A.def...
متن کاملPreoperative echocardiographic diagnosis of anterior mitral valve leaflet fenestration associated with infective endocarditis.
Previously unreported echocardiographic findings are described of two cases with anterior mitral valve leaflet fenestration associated with infective endocarditis. M-mode echocardiograms demonstrated a periodic interruption in the echo tracing of the mitral valve ring area. Long axis real time two dimensional echocardiograms showed an echo defect in the body portion of the anterior mitral valve...
