Partial bileaflet resection and reconstruction of mitral valve in acute infective endocarditis.

چکیده
doi:10.1016/j.jtcvs.2008.01.029 gical intervention, the risk of prosthetic endocarditis after valve replacement is very high in this group of noncompliant patients. Excessive tissue damage and annular abscess, on the other hand, may prevent simple conventional repair. I refer to the procedure as ‘reconstruction’ as opposed to ‘repair’, when 1/3 or more of the valve has to be removed. Reconstruction of the MV, as described here, could be a valuable alternative under these circumstances.

Results Our surgical strategy for active IE is 1) complete debridement of infective tissue, 2) reconstruction with biological material. Six cases of 21 required reconstruction of the aorto-mitral continuity using butterfly shaped bovine pericardial patch in 4, and mono bloc aorta-mitral tissue valves replacement in 2. For the other 15 cases, resected aortic annulus were reconstructed using peri...
