a rare case of prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis complicated with multiple fistula to peri aortic structure
Authors
abstract
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, including emphasis on pre and intra operative echocardiographic diagnosis and treatment.

We present a 76-year-old woman with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve. The course of her illness started with an ischaemic stroke and she was admitted with prolonged fever and an episode of loss of consciousness. Echocardiography revealed acute aortic regurgitation and dehiscence of the prosthetic valve with excessive "rocking motion", aortic abscesses and left ventricular out...
full textSurgical 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. To prospectively compare the abi...
full textNative and Prosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis
1.1 Definitions Infective endocarditis (IE) is an endovascular, microbial infection of intracardiac structures facing the blood, including infections of the large intrathoracic vessels and of intracardiac foreign bodies. The early characteristic lesion is a variably sized vegetation, although destruction, ulceration, or abscess formation may be seen earlier by echocardiography (Habib et al, 200...
