Ruptured mitral valve abscess with mitral incompetence in culture negative infective endocarditis: case report.

ABSTRACT: Introduction:Perivalvular abscess in native valve infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significantly increased mortality. Case description:Herein, we report a 29 year old Indian male who presented with culture negative IE with perivalvular abscess and severe mitral regurgitation requiring mitral valve replacement. Discussion:Initial approach is very difficult in terms of when IE presents as culture negative. This case highlights the important role of echocardiography in the management of culture negative IE.

Infective Endocarditis Complicated with Anterior Mitral Leaflet Abscess: A Case Report.

Project description:Infective endocarditis (IE) is defined as infection of endocardial surface of the heart. It may include one or more heart valves, the mural endocardium or a septal defect. Its intracardiac effect includes severe valvular insufficiency which may lead to intractable congestive heart failure and myocardial abscess. Infective endocarditis especially complicated by an abscess is associated with high mortality, despite the medical and surgical therapeutic options available. Surgical intervention is indicated in cases of heart failure or uncontrolled infection and sometimes for the prevention of embolic phenomena. We report a case of 42 yrs/M with RVHD admitted in Dr D.Y.Patil hospital, Kolhapur. He had high grade, continuous fever, vomiting, cough with expectoration since 15 days prior to admission. He had prior embolic stroke 2 months back from which he recovered completely. The diagnosis of Infective endocarditis was confirmed clinically & echocardiographically by Duke's criteria. His ECHO showed severe MR, Moderate MS and large vegetations on AML oscillating through mitral orifice along with subvalval (mitral) abscess. Due to severe haematemesis following Mallory weiss tear surgical intervention was not possible. Patient succumbed as a result of refractory pulmonary oedema.

Aorto-right pulmonary venous fistula after mitral valve replacement for prosthetic mitral valve infective endocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundAorto-cavitary fistula is a rare condition, and the most common underlying aetiology is infective endocarditis (IE) of the native or the prosthetic aortic valve. We report a case of aorto-right inferior pulmonary venous fistula following redo mitral valve replacement (MVR) for prosthetic mitral valve IE.Case summaryA 74-year-old woman underwent urgent redo MVR for prosthetic mitral valve IE. The post-operative course was complicated with heart failure and mediastinal haematoma compressing the left atrium. The haematoma was surgically removed and laceration of the left atrial wall was suture ligated; this was attributed to the surgical trauma dissection of the adhesive tissues. One-week post-operatively, a continuous murmur emerged, which prompted an evaluation of the left to right shunt. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an echolucent area posterior to the aorta, with continuous flow on colour Doppler. Three-dimensional computed tomography showed a fistula between the aorta and the right inferior pulmonary vein. There was a high risk involved in surgical management; therefore, she was managed medically. Fortunately, the continuous murmur and echolucent space disappeared after 6 months. The fistula was considered to be obstructed by spontaneous thrombus formation in the narrowed segment of the fistula tract.DiscussionThe cause of fistula was attributed to possible surgical trauma in the presence of infection. The present case was unique, as it showed spontaneous healing of an aorto-cavitary fistula, which is very rare. The patient was alive with good health status, 6?years after the MVR.

Case Report: Living on the Edge-Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair Related Infective Endocarditis.

Project description:Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) following mitral valve edge-to-edge repair is a rare complication with high mortality. Case summary: A 91-year-old male patient was admitted to intensive care unit with sepsis due to urinary tract infection after insertion of a urinary catheter by the outpatient urologist. Two weeks ago, the patient was discharged from hospital after successful transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) using a PASCAL Ace device. The initially withdrawn blood revealed repeatedly Proteus mirabilis bacteremia as causal for the sepsis due to urinary tract infection. An antibiotic regime with Ampicillin/Sulbactam was initiated and discontinued after 7 days. During the clinical course the patient again developed fever and blood cultures again revealed P. mirabilis. In transesophageal echocardiography (TOE), IE of the PASCAL Ace device was confirmed by a vegetation accompanied by a mild to moderate mitral regurgitation. While the patient was stable at this time and deemed not suitable for cardiac surgery, the endocarditis team made a decision toward a prolonged 6-week antibiotic regime with an antibiotic combination of Ampicillin 2 g qds and Ciprofloxacin 750 mg td. Due to posterior leaflet perforation severe mitral regurgitation developed while PASCAL Ace vegetations were significantly reduced by the antibiotic therapy. Therefore, the patient underwent successful endoscopic mitral valve replacement. Another 4 weeks of antibiotic treatment with Ampicillin 2 g qds followed before the patient was discharged. Discussion: P. mirabilis is able to form biofilms, resulting in a high risk for endocarditis following transcatheter mitral valve repair especially when device endothelization is incomplete. Endoscopic mitral valve replacement could serve as a bailout strategy in refractory Clip-endocarditis.

Delayed patch repair of a ruptured mitral subvalvular pseudoaneurysm caused by infective endocarditis: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundRuptured subvalvular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but significantly fatal complication of infective endocarditis. We report a successful surgical case of ruptured subvalvular pseudoaneurysm with infective endocarditis.Case summaryA 46-year-old man presenting with high fever was admitted to a local hospital. Physical examination revealed small erythema and petechiae on his lower limbs. Transthoracic echocardiogram did not show any visible vegetation and valvular disease; however, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed multiple acute cerebral infractions, and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus was detected in the blood culture. Infective endocarditis was suspected, and an antibacterial medication was initiated. Twelve days later, he suffered from a sudden cardiogenic shock due to cardiac tamponade. Bloody pericardial effusion (1600 mL) was drained, and his condition improved substantially. Transoesophageal echocardiography after pericardial drainage revealed severe mitral regurgitation and a subvalvular aneurysm at the posteromedial side of the mitral annulus; these were not detected at the time of admission. He was transferred to our hospital for surgery; however, since fresh cerebral bleeding was observed in MRI, the surgery was delayed. Three weeks later, after confirming that the blood culture was negative for any growth, patch repair of the subvalvular pseudoaneurysm and mitral valve repair were performed. Post-operatively, no complication or arrhythmia was observed; he was discharged 25 days later.DiscussionWe report a rare case of successful delayed surgery for a ruptured subvalvular pseudoaneurysm at the posteromedial side of the mitral annulus, which presented complications for infective endocarditis by S. aureus.

A Ruptured Mitral Valve Aneurysm as Complication of a Bicuspid Aortic Valve Endocarditis.

Project description:We present a case of a ruptured mitral valve (MV) aneurysm as a complication of a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) endocarditis. It is about a young 35-year-old man, admitted to Cardiology Unit because of unexpected heart failure picture. We found a BAV endocarditis complicated by anterior MV-anterior leaflet aneurysm formation and subsequent severe MV regurgitation caused by aneurysm perforation. It was a particular and rare situation characterized by an infection of anterior mitral leaflet secondary to an infected regurgitant jet of a primary aortic infective endocarditis due to a BAV. A resulting aneurysm formation on the atrial side of the mitral anterior leaflet leads later to mitral perforation. In this article, we review the more relevant medical literature on this topic.

Cardiac pseudoaneurysm as a complication of native mitral valve infective endocarditis.

Project description:BackgroundThe delayed development of a mitral valve annulus pseudoaneurysm is a rare and late complication of a native mitral abscess cavity.Case summaryCurrently, there are no documented cases of a pseudoaneurysm developing from an abscess cavity of the posterior annulus of the native mitral valve. We report a case of a patient who presented with worsening progressive shortness of breath that was found to be secondary to a pseudoaneurysm. This was detected by 2D echocardiogram and cardiac computed tomography angiography.DiscussionIn our case, the patient developed a late complication of a ventricular pseudoaneurysm originating from the mitral annular area of the abscess cavity. Per the surgical literature, one method to avoid the aforementioned complication is via cavity repair with a bovine patch.

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm as a complication of prosthetic mitral valve infective endocarditis.

Project description:We report a case of infective endocarditis complicated with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm originating from the posterior annulus of the prosthetic mitral valve in a 56-year-old woman. Despite prolonged antibiotic treatment, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showed partial detachment of the prosthesis from the posterior mitral annulus. Three-dimensional rotational computed tomography clearly demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm toward the posterolateral portion of the mitral prosthetic valve, which was not evident by TEE. Valve replacement and repair of the pseudoaneurysm were performed 83 days after initiation of antibiotic therapy. Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication of mitral prosthetic valve endocarditis. It requires prompt diagnosis and early surgical intervention. <Learning objective: We present a case of infective endocarditis (IE) complicated with left ventricular pseudoaneurysm originating from the prosthetic mitral valve. Repeated transesophageal echocardiography is recommended for all IE patients when perivalvular extension is suspected. Electrocardiography-gated three-dimensional-computed tomography is useful for detection and evaluation of pseudoaneurysm, especially in planning surgical procedures.>.
