Unusual Presentation of Aortic Valve Infective Endocarditis in a Dog: Aorto-Cavitary Fistula, Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis, and Third-Degree Atrioventricular Block.

ABSTRACT: A 2-year-old Boxer with a history of subaortic stenosis and immunosuppressant therapy developed aortic valve infective endocarditis. On echocardiographic examination with simultaneous electrocardiographic tracing, multiple uncommon periannular complications of the aortic valve endocarditis were found, including aorto-cavitary fistula with diastolic left-to-right shunt, tricuspid valve endocarditis, and third-degree atrioventricular block. Necropsy confirmed the above echocardiographic findings. Although aortic valve endocarditis represents a well-known disease entity in dogs, the dynamic nature of this condition may allow development of complex and uncommon echocardiographic features.

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.

Diastolic aorto-right-atrial fistulation in aortic and tricuspid valve endocarditis.

Project description:Background Aorto-right-atrial fistula in native valve endocarditis is very rare. Case Description A 45-year-old woman was referred with an endocarditis with a perforated right cusp of the aortic valve with at least moderate insufficiency and an affected tricuspid annulus with vegetations. In addition to this, an aorto-cavitary fistula from the aortic sinus to the right atrium with a holodiastolic left-right shunt had been detected. Streptococci viridans were found as underlying pathogen. Complete replacement of the aortic root and resection of the fistula were performed with good result. Conclusion Endocarditis with fistula formation is rare and has to be treated aggressively.

Tricuspid Valve Leaflet Repair and Augmentation for Infective Endocarditis.

Project description:Intravenous drug use has increased substantially over the past decade, with heroin abuse more than doubling. Injection drug use-related infective endocarditis hospitalizations have similarly increased over the same period. Right-sided infective endocarditis is strongly associated with intravenous drug use, and 90% of right-sided endocarditis involves the tricuspid valve. During the period of the opioid epidemic, tricuspid-related endocarditis rates have increased, while the incidence of surgery for tricuspid endocarditis has increased as much as five-fold. Within this context, optimizing surgical technique for valve repair is increasingly important. In this report, we examine the indications for tricuspid valve surgery for endocarditis, describe specific techniques for tricuspid valve leaflet repair and augmentation, and assess postoperative care and surgical outcomes after both tricuspid valve repair and replacement for infective endocarditis.

Tricuspid valve infective endocarditis in a non-IVDU patient with atopic dermatitis.

Project description:A 29-year-old male, with chronic atopic dermatitis (AD), presented with a 2-week history of fatigue, pyrexia and weight loss. Examination showed eczematous patches with lichenified papules, erosions on the right shin and a new murmur. Blood cultures isolated methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Transthoracic echocardiography showed vegetation on the tricuspid valve (TV) that was adherent to the septal leaflet. He was treated for infective endocarditis, attributed to poorly controlled AD, with intravenous Flucloxacillin. Due to ongoing sepsis and pulmonary septic emboli, Clindamycin was added. He underwent TV repair; the septal leaflet was excised, and the remnant two leaflets were brought together with a ring. His patent foramen ovale was closed. His skin was treated with topical steroids and emollients. Right-sided endocarditis of an intact TV is uncommon in a non-intravenous drug user. Therefore, this novel case portrays the importance of aggressively managing AD as it is a risk factor for significant systemic infections.

Case report: third-degree atrioventricular block secondary to septic coronary artery embolism following infective endocarditis.

Project description:BackgroundCoronary artery emboli can occur from a number of rare causes such as arterial thrombo-embolus or septic embolus. This diagnosis generally requires multi-modal imaging including echocardiography, computed tomography, or invasive coronary angiography. Septic coronary emboli is an extremely rare consequence of infective endocarditis (IE), having been reported in <1% of all cases.Case summaryA 54-year-old previously healthy Tibetan monk presented feeling generally unwell and lethargic. Electrocardiogram demonstrated sinus rhythm, third-degree atrioventricular block with a left bundle branch escape. Initial transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography demonstrated vegetations on the aortic and tricuspid valve as well as intra-myocardial abscess. Coronary angiography revealed septic embolus involving the septal perforator coronary artery. He underwent surgical replacement of the infected valves and debridement and repair of a ventricular septal defect.DiscussionInfective endocarditis can predispose to a range of cardiac pathology. This case demonstrates that patients can present with cardiac conduction disease from a septic embolus involving a coronary artery as a complication of IE.

Percutaneous Aspiration of Vegetation in Tricuspid Valve Infective Endocarditis : A Possible Novel Treatment Option

Project description:A 35-year-old man with a history of active intravenous drug use presented with infective endocarditis and tricuspid valve vegetations. He was a poor candidate for open heart surgery as a result of persistent bacteremia and comorbidities, and he underwent successful aspiration therapy with a mechanical thrombectomy device for the vegetation.
