Reconstruction of aorto-mitral continuity with a handmade aorto-mitral bioprosthetic valve for extensive bivalvular endocarditis.
Surgical treatment is effective to exclude all infected tissue in patients with infective endocarditis. Although various techniques have been reported, it has remained a great challenge for patients with extensive infected regions. A patient with extensive bivalvular endocarditis including the aortic and mitral valve and aorto-mitral continuity is described. A handmade aorto-mitral bioprostheti...
متن کاملBioprosthetic Mitral Valve Regurgitation
The usefulness of two-dimensional color-Doppler flow-imaging (2D Doppler) in the detection, localization, and quantitation of bioprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation is uncertain. Mitral bioprostheses, before and after the creation of transvalvular (n = 33), paravalvular (n = 17), or combined (n = 23) defects, were mounted in a pulsed duplication system (flow rates, 2.5-6.5 1/min; pulse rate, ...
متن کاملRare case of Rhizobium radiobacter bioprosthetic mitral valve endocarditis
Rhizobium radiobacter is an aerobic, gram negative, rod-shaped, bacterium typically found in the soil. Commonly a plant pathogen, it is also a rare human pathogen causing serious disease. Risk factors for infection include neutropenia, leukopenia, catheters, hospitalization, and low CD4+ lymphocyte count, especially in patients with malignancy or human immunodeficiency virus. There is currently...
متن کاملMonobloc aorto-mitral homograft as a treatment of complex cases of endocarditis.
This patient was 42 years old when he had a mandible fracture treated with an intermaxillary blockage. The patient presented with endocarditis caused by Kingella denitrificans. There was a large disinsertion of both prostheses, a paravalvular abscess, and a fistula between the aorta and the right atrium. A double valvular replacement redux associated with a closure of the communication was perf...
متن کاملModified Surgical Intervention for Extensive Mitral Valve Endocarditis and Posterior Mitral Annular Calcification
The concomitant presence of posterior mitral annular calcification and infectious mitral valve lesions poses a technical challenge with considerable perioperative risk when using previously proposed techniques for mitral valve surgery. Herein, we report a case of the use of a modified surgical technique to successfully treat a patient with mitral infective endocarditis complicated by a subendoc...
