  • Title: Prophylactic resection of a tricuspid valve vegetation in infective endocarditis.
    Author: Bernal JM, Gonzalez IM, Miralles PJ.
    Journal: Int J Cardiol; 1986 Aug; 12(2):255-7. PubMed ID: 3744604.
    Abstract:
    A heroin addict who appeared to have recovered clinically from infective endocarditis of the tricuspid valve as judged by the usual criteria underwent prophylactic resection of a large vegetation on the tricuspid valve in order to prevent severe pulmonary embolism. Prophylactic surgery was justified by the size and as judged by cross-sectional echocardiography of the vegetation and its morphology.
