Successful Percutaneous Closure of Gerbode Defect and Right Atrial-Aortic Fistula Following Infective Endocarditis.

Project description:We report a case of infective endocarditis with a septal abscess that was complicated with abnormal blood flow from the left ventricle to the right atrium (Gerbode defect) along with abnormal blood flow from the aorta to the right atrium (atrial-aortic fistula). This is the first reported case of successful correction of both defects by a percutaneous approach.

Percutaneous closure of congenital Gerbode defect using Nit-Occlud® Le VSD coil.

Project description:We present a case report about percutaneous closure of a congenital Gerbode defect using Nit-Occlud® Lê VSD coil. The patient was referred to our hospital with a diagnosis of ventricular septal defect (VSD) and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. But transthoracic echocardiography revealed a communication between the left ventricle (LV) and the right atrial (RA), called Gerbode defect. Catheterization confirmed the shunt from the LV to the RA. We successfully closed the defect with a VSD coil. After uneventful 6 mo follow-up, the patient was out of dyspnea, the symptom urged him to have medical attention. This case report is to discuss the diagnosis and percutaneous treatment approach for this rare congenital heart disease.

Percutaneous Closure of 2 Paravalvular Leaks and a Gerbode Defect after Mitral Valve Replacement for Infective Endocarditis.

Project description:Surgical valve replacement after infective endocarditis can result in local destructive paravalvular lesions. A 30-year-old woman with infective endocarditis underwent mitral valve replacement that was complicated postoperatively by 2 paravalvular leaks. During percutaneous closure of the leaks, a Gerbode defect was also found and closed. We discuss our patient's case and its relation to others in the relevant medical literature. To our knowledge, we are the first to describe the use of a percutaneous approach to close concomitant paravalvular leaks and a Gerbode defect.

Transcatheter closure of residual Gerbode defect after aortic valve replacement surgery.

Project description:A 42-year-old man with a history of surgically repaired coarctation of the aorta presented with a refractory right heart failure. Echocardiography revealed a calcified bicuspid aortic valve both regurgitant and stenotic and a defect within the membranous septum with left to right shunt from the left ventricle (LV) to the right atrium. The patient was referred to surgery for an aortic valve replacement and closure with patch repair of the Gerbode type defect. Post-operative course was complicated by refractory heart failure with a persistent left to right shunt through the defect due to loose sutures. Taking into account the high surgical risk, percutaneous closure of the defect was decided. An Amplatzer Duct Occluder (St Jude Medical, USA) I device was successfully released within the defect. The patient was completely asymptomatic on follow-up.

Uncommon acquired Gerbode defect following extensive bicuspid aortic valve endocarditis.

Project description: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 intervalvular fibrosa and the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve. After dual valve replacement and annular reconstruction, a shunt between the left ventricle and the right atrium--Gerbode defect, and a severe leak of the mitral prosthesis were detected. Reintervention was performed with successful shunt closure with an autologous pericardial patch and paravalvular leak correction. No major complications occurred denying the immediate post-surgery period and the follow-up at the first year was uneventful.

The Gerbode defect: a case series.

Project description:BackgroundThe Gerbode defect is a rare abnormal communication between the left ventricle (LV) and right atrium (RA). The lesion is either congenital or acquired. Acquired defects are largely iatrogenic or infective in origin. We present two cases of acquired Gerbode defects with similar clinical presentations but very different outcomes.Case summariesPatient 1 A 64-year-old male presented with features of decompensated cardiac failure and a low-grade temperature. Dehiscence of a recently implanted bioprosthetic aortic valve and high-velocity LV to RA jet (Gerbode defect) was found on echocardiography. Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus warneri and the diagnosis of infective endocarditis was established. The patient was treated with intravenous antibiotics and the aortic valve and Gerbode defect were successfully surgically repaired.Patient 2 An 81-year-old male presented after being found on the floor at home. On admission, he was clinically septic with evidence of decompensated heart failure. No clear infective focus was initially found. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed severe left ventricular impairment, with a normal bioprosthetic aortic valve. He was treated with intravenous antibiotics, but later deteriorated with evidence of embolic phenomena. Repeat echocardiography revealed a complex infective aortic root lesion with bioprosthetic valve dehiscence and flow demonstrated from the LV to RA. Unfortunately, the patient succumbed to the infection and cardiac complications.DiscussionThe Gerbode defect is a rare but important complication of infective endocarditis and valve surgery. Care needs to be taken to assess for Gerbode defect shunts on echocardiogram, especially in the context of previous cardiac surgery.
