Infective endocarditis late after patent foramen ovale percutaneous closure in an addict patient
Authorea (Authorea)(2021)
摘要
We report an uncommon case of late infective endocarditis, in a patient
with a history of intravenous drug abuse and HIV positivity, 9 years
after a percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale. Despite a target
and prolonged intravenous antibiotic therapy, he was then referred for
surgical device and vegetation removal. Given the high risk associated
with drug addiction lifestyle, especially in HIV positive cases, it is
mandatory to observe this group of patients with lifelong follow-up and
support. Furthermore, it may be considered a multidisciplinary-team
approach to find the best option for these patients, also evaluating a
surgical correction.
