  • Title: [Brucella endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve. Surgical treatment with successful result].
    Author: Sempe S, Koch M, Douard H, Fontan F, Clerc M, Broustet JP.
    Journal: Arch Mal Coeur Vaiss; 1991 Apr; 84(4):587-91. PubMed ID: 2064520.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of Brucella Melitensis endocarditis of a bicuspid aortic valve which caused rapid progression of the hemodynamic signs of aortic stenosis, and was associated with a para-aortic abscess and a pericardial effusion. Surgery resulted in correction of the hemodynamic abnormalities and cured the infection: the results were sustained 10 months after operation. This case illustrates the precision of the Doppler, echocardiographic diagnosis of the lesions, which was confirmed at surgery so that potentially dangerous cardiac catheterisation could be avoided.
