Dissection of intima on atrial septum patch after mitral valve replacement in a patient with infective endocarditis after incomplete atrio-ventricular septal defect repair: report of a case.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We encountered a very rare lesion, which included a dissection between a prosthetic patch for repair of an incomplete atrio-ventricular septal defect (AVSD) and a pseudo-intima which had developed. This is the first report of a dissection between an atrial septum patch and pseudo-intima after mitral valve replacement (MVR) in a patient with infective endocarditis following an incomplete AVSD repair. Dissection of the left atrial wall or atrial septum after MVR is extremely rare although some case reports have been published.

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 کاملSurgery on a patient with iatrogenic aortic valve leaflet perforation after repair of a congenital ventricular septal defect.
Aortic valve regurgitation caused by a leaflet perforation occurs most often with infective endocarditis involving the aortic valve. Although rare, leaflet perforation can be caused by suture-related injury during cardiac operations, such as mitral valve replacement, ventricular septal defect (VSD) repair, and repair of an ostium primum atrial septal defect. Few reports have described this form...
متن کاملUncommon acquired Gerbode defect following extensive bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis
Gerbode defect is a rare type of left ventricle to right atrium shunt. It is usually congenital in origin, but acquired cases are also described, mainly following infective endocarditis, valve replacement, trauma or acute myocardial infarction. We report a case of a 50-year-old man who suffered an extensive and complex infective endocarditis involving a bicuspid aortic valve, the mitral-aortic ...

متن کاملStaphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis with destruction of the ventricular septum and multiple native valves
Staphylococcus lugdunensis (S. lugdunensis) is a coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) that can cause destructive infective endocarditis. S. lugdunensis, unlike other CoNS, should be considered to be a pathogen. We report the first case of S. lugdunensis endocarditis causing ventricular septal defect and destruction of the aortic and mitral valves. A 53-year-old male with morbid obesity and ...
