Infectious endocardial intracardiac defibrillator lead, infectious pericarditis, and delayed constrictive pericarditis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The usage of Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) since 1980s is becoming more popular these days. The rate of both, endocarditis and constrictive pericarditis are low but it still needs attention. We are reporting a rare case of ICD endocarditis as a result of toe infection in a diabetic patient. This was followed by infectious pericarditis after device removal by open heart surgery and then delayed constrictive pericarditis.

متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis caused by Cutibacterium (Propionibacterium) acnes: A case report and review of literature
Constrictive and effusive-constrictive pericarditis are rare cardiac disorders. Only rarely are the conditions caused by purulent infection, and even more infrequently by anaerobe bacteria. We describe a case of constrictive - and effusive-constrictive pericarditis due to Cutibacterium (formerly Propionibacterium) acnes in a 75-year old, immunocompetent and previously healthy patient without an...
متن کاملMelioidosis pericarditis mimicking tuberculous pericarditis.
Cases of melioidosis (N = 2) and tuberculous pericarditis (N = 33) during 1996-2006 were reviewed. Clinical presentations were similar, but pericardial pathological findings were not. Nine of 12 patients with melioidosis required pericardectomy. In areas where these diseases are endemic, pericardial fluid culture and pericardial biopsy can differentiate between melioidosis and tuberculosis.
متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis in a 19-month-old child.
We report a case of chronic nonspecific constrictive pericarditis with myocardial involvement in a 19-month-old infant. The patient underwent total pericardiectomy and had irreversible hemodynamic instability. Constrictive pericarditis is rare in childhood. It may follow several processes, most frequently an infectious disease. The natural course of the disease consists of progressive myocardia...
متن کاملRestoration of normal intracardiac pressures after extensive pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis.
CHRONIC constrictive pericarditis produces a characteristic clinical picture' that results from a characteristic eirculatorv alteration, namely, restriction of ventricular filling. Pericardial constriction is accompanied by typical abnormalities of right atrial and right ventricular pressure-pulse contours,2 and although the majority of patients are improved clinically after pericardiectomy, so...
