"Removal without replacement" strategy for uncontrolled prosthetic tricuspid valve endocarditis associated with abortion sepsis.
Heart Surgery Forum 2011 December
Isolated tricuspid valve (TV) endocarditis associated with abortion is a rare entity with a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 22-year-old woman with a diagnosis of isolated prosthetic TV endocarditis secondary to recurrent abortion. The patient had progressed to multiorgan failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation during her clinical course. Because of the high operative risk and uncontrolled infection, we performed an unusual surgical approach that has not previously been reported. Resection of infected valvular tissue without replacement of the prosthesis led to a rapid convalescence period and complete cure.
