Aortic Valve Staphylococcus Aureus Endocarditis Complicated by Sinus of Valsalva-Right Atrial Fistula
نویسندگان
چکیده
Infective Endocarditis is an extremely rare etiology of sinus of Valsalva-right atrial fistulas, abnormal connections between the aorta and the right atrium. We report the case of a 21-year-old female patient with native aortic valve Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis complicated by sinus of Valsalva abscess perforation associated with an acute heart block, an aorto-right atrial fistula, severe heart failure, and cardiogenic shock. The patient underwent emergent aortic valve replacement and complex sinus of Valsalva fistula pericardial patch reconstruction and repair. Choice of valve and patient-prosthesis mismatch are discussed.

Asymptomatic rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is rare. A fistula following rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm may cause infective endocarditis. Here, we report a case of infective endocarditis of an aorto-right atrial fistula caused by asymptomatic rupture of a sinus of Valsalva aneurysm.

متن کاملAneurysm of the aortic sinuses with pseudo-coarctation of the aorta.
Aortic sinus aneurysms are uncommon; association with pseudocoarctation has not been previously recognized. Morgan Jones and Langley (1949) in a classic paper reviewed fortythree autopsy proven cases, added four new ones, and divided them into congenital and acquired types: of the total, twenty-five were congenital. Venning (1951) reported three additional cases and Falholt and Thomsen (1953) i...
