Right-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. 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.
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
متن کاملSurgery for bacterial endocarditis associated with bacteria of oral/dental origin – characteristics of the “typical host” and implications for prevention
Results Significant differences between the groups were found regarding poor oral health, metabolic syndrome and dental treatment with a higher incidence in Group A. In Group A, majority of cases had left-sided endocarditis (79%); in Group B, 63% of patients were diagnosed with left-sided-, 30% with left-and-right-sided-, and 7% with right-sided-endocarditis. The in-hospital mortality was 0% vs...
متن کاملTransesophageal echocardiography in right-sided endocarditis.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to determine the diagnostic value of transesophageal echocardiography in right-sided endocarditis. BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated that transesophageal echocardiography is superior to transthoracic echocardiography in the detection of vegetations associated with left-sided endocarditis. Its diagnostic value in right-sided endocarditis has not been establishe...
متن کاملCLINICOPATHOLOGIC CORRELATIONS Bacterial Endocarditis in Subjects 60 Years of Age and Older
Forty-two cases of bacterial endocarditis with pathologic confirmation are reviewed. Infection was restricted to one or both left-sided valves in 31 cases, right-sided valves in five cases, and valves in both sides of the heart in six cases. In those specimens available for review, underlying valvular disease was identifiable in 24 of 38 cases (63%). The common underlying diseases, in order of ...
