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 کاملSurgical management of aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is still associated with high mortality and morbidity despite advances in diagnostic, medical and surgical management. Aims: 1. To report shortand mid-term results after surgical treatment of IE in the current era and to compare the results between native valve endocarditis (NVE) and prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). 2.

متن کاملAortic valve imaging Towards new standards in prosthetic valve endocarditis
Background: Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a disease with high mortality, and diagnosis is difficult. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has been the mainstay imaging modality in the diagnostic workup, but TEE has diagnostic shortcomings. Thus, new imaging methods might improve the diagnostic workup of PVE. Aims: I) To investigate the agreement in findings between electrocard...
