  • Title: [Recurrent bacterial endocarditis with involvement of the tricuspid valve after surgical correction of congenital heart defect].
    Author: Kowalski M, Rydlewska-Sadowska W, Rózański J, Borowiecka E.
    Journal: Kardiol Pol; 1992 Nov; 37(11):314-6. PubMed ID: 1287294.
    Abstract:
    A case of recurrent tricuspid valve endocarditis after surgical closure of ventricular septal defect is presented. Intensive medical treatment lasting nearly ten years completely failed. There were still vegetations attached to the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve with positive cultures (Ps. aeruginosa). Persistent sepsis without signs of heart failure required surgical intervention. Tricuspid valvuloplasty with excision of infected patch was successfully performed. Six months later the patient remained symptomless.
