Abstract

Brucella endocarditis is a potentially fatal condition. Mostly prosthetic and native cardiac valves are involved, but involvement of ventricular septal defect (VSD) patch is very rare. We would like to share our experience with a case of brucella endocarditis of a prosthetic VSD patch. The patient had a recurrent VSD at first postoperative month. He was treated succesfully with debridement and reattachment of the same patch without replacement of prosthetic patch in addition to long term antibiotic treatment.

Özet

Brucella endokarditi potansiyel olarak ölümcül bir durumdur. Çoğunlukla prostetik ve nativ kapakta görülmekle beraber çok nadiren ventriküler septum defektinin (VSD) kapatılmasını takiben kullanılan yamada geliştiği de bildirilmiştir. Bu olgu sunumu ile VSD yamasında brusella endokarditi gelişen nadir bir vakadaki deneyimimizi paylaşmak istedik. Bu hastada, postoperatif 1. ayda rekürran VSD gelişti. Hasta, yamanın değiştirilmesine gerek kalmadan enfekte dokuların debridmanı ve defektin onarımına ek olarak uzun süreli antibiyotik uygulaması ile başarıyla tedavi edildi.
