An alternative surgical approach for aortic infective endocarditis: vegetectomy
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 05/27/09
Chen X et al. - The authors describe a case of successful vegetectomy of the aortic valves for early infective endocarditis. An aortic vegetectomy was performed as an alternative to valve replacement for a 54-year-old man with three vegetations and mild regurgitation in aortic valve due to infective endocarditis. Postoperative clinical course was without signs of recurrent infection after follow-up of 19 months, and transesophageal echocardiography demonstrated aortic valve competence.
