  • Title: Infective mitral valve endocarditis after transapical aortic valve implantation.
    Author: Hirnle G, Holzhey D, Borger M, Mohr FW.
    Journal: Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg; 2013 Mar; 16(3):394-5. PubMed ID: 23223669.
    Abstract:
    An 80-year old patient underwent a transapical aortic valve implantation. On the 28th postoperative day, the patient developed acute mitral valve endocarditis. Initially, the patient was unsuccessfully treated conservatively. After 71 days, the patient was operated on with mitral valve replacement. In this report, we discuss the potentially growing problem of complications related to transcatheter valve implantation.
