  • Title: Bioprosthetic mitral valve implantation for active mitral valve endocarditis in third degree thorax burn.
    Author: Smith MA, Yuh DD.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2008 May; 85(5):1791-2. PubMed ID: 18442590.
    Abstract:
    Infective endocarditis remains a devastating complication in the thermally injured patient. The treatment of infective endocarditis is primarily medical, but surgical intervention is often mandatory when various complications arise. We believe that this is the first reported case of mitral valve replacement in a patient with third degree burns to the thorax. We also discuss surgical indications and treatment options in this clinical setting.
