  • Title: Forward angiography in the identification of vegetations in tricuspid endocarditis.
    Author: Harris CN, Dunne EF, Farinha JB, Zubiate P, Kay JH, Kaplan MA.
    Journal: Chest; 1977 Feb; 71(2):218-20. PubMed ID: 832497.
    Abstract:
    A patient with staphylococcal endocarditis of unknown valvular location and resistant to antibiotic therapy was studied in order to localize the site of infection prior to cardiac surger. The injection of contrast material into the right atrium visualized tricuspid vegetations which were confirmed at surgery. In such situations, forward angiographic studies constitute a safe, simple, and potentially diagnostic procedure which avoids the hazards of advancing a catheter across an infected valve.
