  • Title: Aspergillus aortitis & aortic valve endocarditis after coronary surgery.
    Author: Clarke NS, Sengupta A, Miller A, Jessen ME, Murthy RA.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2019 Sep; 34(9):871-874. PubMed ID: 31233241.
    Abstract:
    The authors report a case of Aspergillus aortitis and aortic valve endocarditis that developed after coronary artery bypass surgery resulting in recurrent, embolic, bilateral lower extremity ischemia. This necessitated multiple lower extremity embolectomies followed by redo-sternotomy, extensive annular debridement, root reconstruction with a modified Bentall technique, and hemiarch replacement. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosis and management of this rare disease entity and some of its devastating complications.
