The significant morbidity and mortality associated with this condition warrant rapid diagnostic evaluation. Although surgery is the first-line therapy in symptomatic obstructive mechanical valve thrombosis, thrombolytic therapy has been used as a...
متن کاملSurgical 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...
متن کاملNative 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...
