The 10-year freedom from re-occurrence of aortic valve endocarditis was 88% for the stented and 98% for the stentless groups. Conclusions Both stented or stentless aortic valves are appropriate conduits for replacement of active aortic valve endocarditis for select patients....
The impact of aortic valve homografts on the treatment of aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis. Prosthetic valve endocarditis, which is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication of valve replacement, may result in annular abscess formation (mechanical valves) or primarily leaflet infection (xenografts...
Deterioration of the valve with age. The aortic valve opens and shuts tens of thousands of times a day, every day of your life. Aortic valve regurgitation may result from age-related wear and tear on the valve. Endocarditis. The aortic valve may be damaged by endocarditis — an infection i...
Aortic valve replacement is the most common surgical treatment for aortic valve diseases. In this procedure, the dysfunctional valve is replaced with a new one from a human donor or an animal. Mechanical valves are also used to replace the diseased valve. But, this method of surgical repair re...
Endocarditis being suspected he was at first treated with penicillin G (15 mega IU/d) and gentamycin (160 mg/d). The fever regressed, but after 8 days the blood culture grew Campylobacter fetus subspecies fetus. Antibiotic treatment was switched to imipenem, twice daily ...
Objective:To determine the long-term survival and rate of reoperation after surgical treatment of infective endocarditis (IE) in patients with a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) and patients with a tricuspid aortic valve (TAV). Methods:Between 1997 and 2017, 210 patients underwent surgical treatment fo...
Sometimes this leads to heart failure, and a surgeon must replace the aortic valve. Aortic regurgitation can be caused by: Rheumatic fever Very high blood pressure A bicuspid aortic valve, which has two cusps (flaps) instead of three Endocarditis — inflammation of the lining of the heart A...
Backgrounds Transcatheter-implanted aortic valve infective endocarditis (TAVI-IE) is difficult to diagnose when relying on the Duke Criteria. Our aim was to assess the additional diagnostic value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission/computed tomography (PET/CT) and cardiac computed tomograp...

The clinical features of endocarditis of the aortic valve in 24 dogs were reviewed. This condition was found most commonly in large-breed, middle-aged male dogs. Evidence of antecedent infection or immunosuppression was usually not historically verified or found at necropsy. However, an association ...
