Right-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report

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.

Like most controversial topics in medicine, the truth probably lies between the two schools of thought. In the early acute Case-roughly within the first 48 hours-operation is indeed quite simple and there is no contraindication to its performance in an otherwise fit patient provided a skilled surgeon is available and that there are full facilities for operative cholangiography.

متن کاملPathophysiology and management of right heart ischemia.
Acute right coronary artery occlusion proximal to the right ventricular (RV) branches results in right ventricular free wall dysfunction, exerting mechanically disadvantageous effects on biventricular performance. Depressed RV systolic function decreases transpulmonary delivery of left ventricular (LV) preload, resulting in diminished cardiac output. The ischemic right ventricle is stiff, dilat...
متن کاملMultisite infective endocarditis with mural vegetations in the right atrium and right ventricle.
A 59-year-old reclusive man was found down in his home, presumably for at least 4 days. This had been preceded by progressive shortness of breath and profound generalized weakness for 2 weeks. There had been no recent use of intravenous drugs prior to onset of acute illness. On admission to the hospital, his blood pressure and body temperature were normal. He was tachycardic at 120 bpm in the p...
متن کاملClinical Aspects and Management of Myotonic Dystrophies
– Myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the most common adult muscular dystrophy, characterized by autosomal dominant progressive myopathy, myotonia and multiorgan involvement. To date two distinct forms caused by similar mutations have been identified. Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1, Steinert’s disease) was described more than 100 years ago and is caused by a (CTG)n expansion in DMPK, while myotonic dyst...
