Bartonella henselae infection is typically associated with cat scratch disease. This microorganism can also lead to culture-negative infective endocarditis in immunocompromised patients. We present a rare case of a previously healthy 65-year-old man with B. henselae-associated endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic root. All blood cultures, as well as cultures of the resected aortic valve vegetations, remained negative. Polymerase chain reaction with specific bacterial primers with DNA sequencing was used to identify B. henselae as the etiologic agent. This was successfully managed by an aortic root re-replacement using a mechanical conduit, reimplantation of coronaries ostia, and antibiotic therapy. 相似文献

A 68-year-old man, who had undergone percutaneous coronary intervention for right coronary disease 2 weeks earlier, was admitted to our hospital for investigation of a fever. Blood culture and echocardiography revealed isolated aortic valve infective endocarditis. He was treated with antibiotics for more than 1 week, but echocardiography showed an aortic root abscess with severe aortic regurgitation. Thus, we performed aortic root replacement using an artificial Freestyle stentless bioprosthesis valve. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course and antibiotic treatment was continued for a further 8 weeks. 相似文献

During a six-year period 15 consecutive patients with isolated aortic regurgitation due to infective endocarditis were encountered. None had prior significant aortic valve disease. Elective valve replacement was performed in 13 patients; emergency operation was needed in only 1 patient because of intractable pulmonary edema. One patient died suddenly from acute heart block while undergoing medical treatment.Preoperative cardiac catheterization studies in 10 of the 14 patients revealed gross elevations of left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, pulmonary hypertension, depressed cardiac output, and 3 to 4+ aortic regurgitation. There was 1 early and 1 late postoperative death, both due to systemic embolism, yielding an overall surgical mortality of 14%. After a mean follow-up of 18 months, 10 of the 11 patients are in New York Heart Association Functional Class I.Most patients with acute aortic regurgitation secondary to infective endocarditis have clinically observable congestive heart failure and will eventually require valve replacement. If congestive heart failure can be stabilized by a medical regimen, a course of antibiotic therapy can be administered and elective valve replacement can be performed. The time taken for preoperative antibiotic treatment is not associated with irreversible myocardial damage sufficient to influence the results of operation. 相似文献

We report the successful surgical intervention in two cases of aortic valve bacterial endocarditis after scorpion stings. Infective endocarditis developed in both patients several weeks after they suffered repeated scorpion stings. Both patients had similar, but uncommon features: (1) the isolated organisms were unusual causes of infective endocarditis (streptococcus group G and Streptococcus milleri), (2) annular abscesses developed that required either aortic root replacement with a homograft or annular patch repair with pericardium, and (3) complete heart block developed postoperatively, requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. Both patients completed a 6-week postoperative course of antibiotic therapy and are without recurrent infection. 相似文献

This communication describes a modified aortic root replacement technique using a cryopreserved allograft consisting of the aortic conduit and its branch. This method was applied in a patient suffering from infective pseudoaneurysm which had developed after aortic root replacement using an artificial graft with a mechanical aortic valve. A piece of the innominate artery obtained from the aortic allograft was used for interposition between the fragile left coronary artery root and the main conduit of the allograft. 相似文献

This report describes a 60-year-old male patient who developed early valvular obliteration of a cryopreserved aortic valve
allograft with associated severe valvular leakage. The patient had previously undergone two operations for aortic valve insufficiency
resulting from infective endocarditis, and prosthetic valve endocarditis: aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis
was done 4 years ago, and two years later aortic root replacement with a cryopreserved allograft was performed. Perforation
through the non-coronary cusp of the aortic allograft was found, and valve replacement was achieved using a mechanical prosthesis.
The intraoperative findings, histological, immunological, and bacteriological studies of the resected cusps demonstrated negative
for infection and rejection, therefore, the valvular perforation might have been caused by an injury or degeneration during
management of the homologous graft. The patient showed neither aortic regurgitation on echocardiography nor recurrence of
endocarditis 10 months after surgery. 相似文献

A 28-year-old man with active aortic valve endocarditis underwent emergency surgery. Because he had progressive congestive heart failure and uncontrolled infection. Aortic root replacement for Ross procedure was required because of complete debridment of infective tissue. His operation were performed under extracorporeal circulation and moderate hypothermia, the operation procedure was following, (1) taking off auto-pulmonary artery valve, (2) removing dysfunctional aortic valve and auto-transplantation of pulmonary valve on aortic root, (3) putting a pulmonary Freestyle Aortic Valve to rebuild right ventricular outflow tract. Follow-up showed heart function was in class I (New York Heart Association) , aortic and pulmonary valve function was very well. Streptococcus milleri group was isolated from his blood and infectious aortic valve postoperatively. We believed that a Ross operation with Freestyle Aortic Valve is more resistant to infection, therefore, it might be an option for infective endocarditis with aortic valve endocarditis. 相似文献

Approximately one-third of patients with infective endocarditis require surgical treatment, but the ideal procedure that prevents infection ensures long durability and maintains quality of life remains unclear. A 21-year-old man who was diagnosed with aortic active infective endocarditis was referred to our hospital for surgical treatment. Echocardiography showed bicuspid aortic valve, severe aortic regurgitation, a large vegetation, and a paravalvular abscess. We planned to perform elective surgical treatment after antibiotic therapy; however, progression to heart failure required urgent operation. Aortic valve reconstruction (AVr) using autologous pericardium was performed. Perioperative and postoperative courses were uneventful. No recurrence of infection or adverse events were observed 4 years postoperatively. Considering prosthetic valve infection and redo operation, AVr may be considered among young patients. 相似文献

The surgical management of extravalvular aortic root infection 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fifteen patients with extravalvular aortic root infection and associated infective endocarditis underwent urgent operation for this condition at Glasgow Royal Infirmary between 1977 and 1983. Four patients (26.7%) subsequently died between 1 and 68 months after operation. All patients underwent aortic valve replacement, with debridement or suture closure of abscess cavities as indicated. Three patients also required insertion of permanent pacing systems for complete heart block. Three other patients required further surgical intervention. Aortic valve rereplacement was done on two occasions in 1 patient and repair of a periprosthetic leak in the second patient; the third required one additional procedure to close an aorto-right atrial fistula postoperatively. Ten out of 11 survivors are in New York Heart Association Class I, and the remaining patient is in Class II. Aggressive surgical therapy without the need for complicated reconstructive procedures of the aortic root is effective in the management of extravalvular aortic root infections. 相似文献

The patient was a 51-year-old man with Marfan syndrome who had simultaneously undergone modified Bentall operation (Carrel patch method) and coronary artery bypass grafting. Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) occurred 19 months after the operation. PVE had thereafter been treated by antibiotic therapy for 3 months, but echocardiography revealed prosthetic valve detachment and aortic root pseudoaneurysm ruptured into the right ventricle which appeared to have been caused by PVE. At reoperation there were no laboratory or intraoperative findings indicative of ongoing inflammation or infection. The composite graft, therefore, didn't require replacing, and it was possible to simply re-suture the composite graft and directly close the tear. The postoperative course has been uneventful with no further evidence of endocarditis. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Although mechanical prosthetic heart valves are most commonly used for aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic regurgitation due to noninfectious inflammatory vascular disease, postoperative perivalvular leakage and/or detachment of the prosthetic valve occurs due to the fragility of the aortic annulus. Aortic root replacement with cryopreserved homografts is reported to be useful in such patients. METHODS: Three patients having aortic regurgitation associated with severe long standing noninfectious inflammatory vascular disease-2 patients with Takayasu's arteritis and 1 patient with Beh?et disease--had the aortic root replacement by a cryopreserved aortic homograft valve and conduit. RESULTS: All surgery was successful and the postoperative course uneventful. Echocardiography showed neither aortic regurgitation nor graft detachment at 6-39 months after operation. CONCLUSIONS: Homograft valve and conduit replacement is appropriate in patients with aortic regurgitation associated with noninfectious inflammatory vascular disease, with mid-term results favorable. 相似文献

Reoperative cryopreserved root and ascending aorta replacement for acute aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

BACKGROUND: Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis (PVE) is an important complication of aortic valve replacement (AVR) and is a particularly difficult situation after an operation combining AVR with ascending aortic replacement. METHODS: From 1988 through 2000, 27 patients with aortic valve PVE after previous ascending aortic replacement (aortic root replacement in 13, aortic valve replacement with a supracoronary graft in 14) underwent reoperation for aortic root replacement with a cryopreserved aortic allograft and prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy. All patients were considered to have active PVE (25 with positive cultures); root abscess formation was present in 89% and aortoventricular discontinuity in 41%. RESULTS: One patient (3.7%) died in-hospital, and permanent pacemakers were required in 10 patients (37%). Mean postoperative follow-up interval was 3.9 +/- 3.0 years, and survival at 1, 2, 5, and 7.5 years was 92%, 88%, 70%, and 56%, respectively. One patient underwent reoperation for recurrent PVE 8 months after operation. CONCLUSIONS: Radical debridement of infected prosthetic material and tissue, and allograft aortic root and ascending aorta replacement, combined with intravenous antibiotic therapy, appears to achieve a low hospital mortality and a high degree of freedom from recurrent infection for patients with PVE after AVR and ascending aortic replacement. 相似文献

Acute endocarditis treated with radical debridement and implantation of mechanical or stented bioprosthetic devices 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
BACKGROUND: Operation for active infective endocarditis carries high mortality and morbidity rates, especially when the annulus is involved. Overall the literature favors the use of autograft and homograft valves because of better resistance to infection. In our clinic during the last 5 years we used an aggressive surgical approach to infective endocarditis in combination with implantation of mechanical or stented bioprosthetic devices. METHODS: From 1994 to 1999, 50 adults with aortic and/or mitral valve endocarditis underwent valve replacement. The median age of the 36 men and 14 women was 58 years (range, 17 to 78 years). All patients had active endocarditis at the time of operation. Native valve endocarditis was present in 48 patients and prosthetic valve endocarditis was present in 2 patients. The aortic valve was affected in 24 patients, the mitral valve in 21 patients, and both the aortic and mitral valves in 5 patients. Two of the patients with mitral endocarditis also had infection of the tricuspid valve. Annular destruction was present in 24 patients (48%). The patients were treated with radical excision of all infected tissue. The annular defects were closed, if possible, with direct sutures. Otherwise, a reconstruction was performed. Follow-up was 100% complete with a median follow-up period of 45 months (range, 6 to 66 months). RESULTS: The procedures were performed without lethal bleeding complications. Early mortality was 12% and the actuarial survival at follow-up was 80%. In none of the patients who died was death related to the prosthetic valve or recurrence of the endocarditis. Only 1 patient (2%) developed recurrence of the infective endocarditis and was reoperated with a Ross procedure. Three and a half years later the patient developed severe valve insufficiency of the autograft and was operated again with implantation of a mechanical device. CONCLUSIONS: Native and prosthetic valve endocarditis can be treated successfully with aggressive surgical debridement and implantation of mechanical or stented bioprosthetic devices with a low risk of recurrent endocarditis. 相似文献

A case of infective endocarditis which was complicated with hemorrhagic fibrinous pericarditis was reported. The hemorrhagic fibrinous pericarditis is a rare complication of infective endocarditis of the aortic root and is observed massive hemorrhage into the pericardial space. These patients should be considered for the aortic valve replacement early in the course of the disease. 相似文献

Aortic root abscess remains a major determinant of both early and late results of surgical treatment of endocarditis. This complication rarely progresses to intracardiac shunt followed by cardiac failure. We report a surgical case of a 40-year-old man, who had been diagnosed as prosthetic valve endocarditis with aortic root abscess ruptured into left and right ventricle creating aorto-left and right ventricular communication. Because of complete debridment of infective and/or dead tissue, aortic root replacement was required. We used free-style stentless valve, xenograft, since homograft was not available at the time of operation. We believe that this prosthesis has easier handling and is more resistant to infection, therefore, it might be an option for infective endocarditis with aortic root abscess. 相似文献

There are advantages to using aortic homografts as aortic valve replacements (AVR), particularly in patients with complex infective endocarditis. To determine the importance of a domestic homograft valve bank, our 23 surgical cases of homograft-AVR were reviewed. Since 2000, the Tissue Bank of the National Cardiovascular Center has supplied 23 aortic homograft valves for the treatment of complex aortic valve endocarditis. Fourteen of 23 patients had prosthetic valve endocarditis and 20 patients had an aortic annular abscess. The early mortality rate was 17% (4 patients), in all of whom prosthetic valve replacement had been performed previously. No recurrent endocarditis and no recurrent aortic regurgitation were noted at medium-term follow-up. An aortic homograft valve is the conduit of choice in cases of infective endocarditis and the importance of a domestic homograft valve bank should be recognized. 相似文献

Introduction and importanceLeft ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm associated with infective endocarditis is a rare but life-threatening condition.Case presentationA 68-year-old man developed infective endocarditis of a bicuspid aortic valve with suspected annulus abscess and was transferred to our department for further treatment. Cardiac workup revealed the formation of a left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm penetrating the right atrium. We successfully treated the patient with pseudoaneurysm repair using a bovine pericardium patch in combination with aortic valve replacement. The patient was uneventfully discharged after 6-week antibiotic therapy and remained well for the following 2 years.Clinical discussionSurgery is the recommended treatment for left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysms. Accurate diagnosis and identification of the anatomical conditions are crucial for determining the appropriate treatment.ConclusionWhen considering the appropriate surgical treatment for left ventricular outflow tract pseudoaneurysm associated with infective endocarditis, pseudoaneurysm repair using a bovine pericardial patch and concomitant aortic valve replacement can be an effective and feasible therapeutic option. 相似文献

We experienced a case of 51-year-old woman who underwent emergency aortic valve replacement by translocation method for active infective aortic valve endocarditis with aortic root abscesses. Postoperative course was complicated as the following. Three days later, the perforation of noncoronary sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium was noted and she developed progressive heart failure due to the massive left-to-right shunt. The second operation was performed immediately for the patch closure of the perforation through the right atriotomy. Two months later, unstable angina appeared because of the stenosis of the vein graft to the left coronary artery, leading to the emergency third operation in which LITA was placed to the left anterior descending artery. In spite of these complications she recovered gradually and she was discharged 6 months after the first operation. She is now doing well in NYHA class 2. Translocation method is quite useful for such a case of the aortic valve endocarditis with periannular abscesses in whom conventional valve replacement is supposed to be impossible, but the long durability of this type of the repair is unknown. Careful follow-up of the patient is mandatory. 相似文献

We reviewed ten cases who underwent aortic root replacement after operation for the ascending aorta and/or aortic valve. As initial operation, aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed in five patients, replacement of the ascending aorta in two, original Bentall operation in two, and entry closure and suspension of the aortic valve in one. At reoperation, three patients were diagnosed as aneurysm of the ascending aorta, two were annulo-aortic ectasia, and one was acute aortic dissection, chronic dissecting aneusym, pseudoaneurysm of the ascending aorta, prosthetic valve endocarditis, and massive aortic regurgitation. Aortic root replacement was performed using mechanical valved composite graft in all cases. One patient who underwent repeat aortic root replacement for prosthetic valve endocarditis was died of septemia and ventricular fibrillation. Five patients had nine complications (two low output syndrome, respiratory failure and cerebral infarction, one gastrointestinal bleeding, septemia and ventricular fibrillation). In conclusion, aortic root replacement after operation for the ascending aorta and/or aortic valve was performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality. 相似文献
