Issue Date: | 2017 | Source: | 8, (3), 2017, p. 408-410 | Pages: | 408-410 | Journal: | World Journal for Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery | Abstract: | Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon condition among patients with congenital heart disease, however it can be life threatening. The usual management includes replacement of the affected valve, especially in patients with aortic valve compromise, and is even more common in previously repaired valves. In this case report, we describe the successful reconstruction of an aortic root destroyed by IE, in a patient with history of ballooning of a congenital aortic stenosis.L6163138432017-05-25 | DOI: | 10.1177/2150135116636571 | Resources: | https://www.embase.com/search/results?subaction=viewrecord&id=L616313843&from=exporthttp://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2150135116636571 | | Keywords: | article;bacterial endocarditis;case report;debridement;echocardiography;female;fever;hospital readmission;aortic regurgitation;nuclear magnetic resonance imaging;priority journal;Staphylococcus aureus;young adult;antibiotic agentadult;human;aortic valve commissurotomy;aortic valve repair;artery dilatation | Type: | Article |
