Undetected pulmonary Artery Aneurysms Secondary to Prolonged Right-sided Endocarditis in a Patient with Corrected Tetralogy of Fallot
نویسنده
چکیده
Mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms are a rare complication of right-sided endocarditis most often associated with congenital heart disease or intravenous drug addiction. We report a case of undetected mycotic pulmonary artery aneurysms secondary to prolonged rightsided endocarditis in a 25-years old patient with corrected tetralogy of Fallot /pulmonary atresia. An attempt to explain the delayed diagnosis of endocarditis with subsequent mycotic aneurysms formation is made and the clinical and imaging findings of this rare complication during a long-term follow up are presented, contributing to our knowledge on the natural history of this disease.

Aspergillus Fumigatus Endocarditis after Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot
There are few studies about post-cardiac surgery fungal infections especially by Aspergillus fumigatus. In this paper we report a case of Aspergillus fumigatus endocarditis after tetralogy of Fallot total correction (TFTC), and permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. A five-year-old female patient with current history of total correction of tetralogy of fallot was admitted in Rajaie Ca...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملبررسی عملکرد بطنها با اکوکاردیوگرافی در نارسایی دریچه ریوی پس از جراحی تترالوژی فالوت
Background: Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. The systolic and diastolic function in both ventricles is altered even after successful corrective surgery for this defect with a transannular patch. Pulmonary regurgitation, a common complication after this treatment, is usually well tolerated in childhood. The aim of this study was to assess the combined dia...
متن کاملLeft-Sided Patent Ductus Arteriosus
W HEN there is a right-sided aortic arch, persistence of a left-sided ductus arteriosus can readily be demonstrated by angiocardiography. This is important because in some types of eyanotic congenital heart disease, such as in the tetralogy of Fallot, anl artificial aortico-pulmonary (Blalock-Taussig' or Pott S2 shunt) is often created in order to alleviate the distress produced by anoxia. Two ...
متن کاملRight-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple rare large vegetations on the pulmonary valve extending into pulmonary artery along with a large vegetation over the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.
