Re-do pericardial reconstruction of the aortic valve in Brucella endocarditis
INDIAN JOURNAL OF THORACIC AND CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY(2021)
摘要
We report a 12-year-old boy who had undergone an auto-pericardial aortic valve implantation 3 years ago for rheumatic aortic regurgitation. He presented with Brucella endocarditis of the auto-pericardial leaflets with new-onset severe aortic regurgitation, congestive cardiac failure and systemic sepsis. He had an aortic root abscess with multiple pseudoaneurysms in relation to the aortic sinus. Following medical stabilisation, he underwent re-do surgery with debridement of the root abscess, closure of the pseudoaneurysms, excision of the auto-pericardial aortic leaflets and reconstruction of the aortic valve with donor pericardium. He had an uneventful recovery and is asymptomatic on follow-up.
