Abstract

The most importanl consideration in the management of infective endocarditis is the determination of the patients in the high risk group. Echocardiography is important as a diagnostic tool in the determination of patients in the high risk group, in the early recognition of complications and in the selection of treatment modalities. Transesophageal echocardiography is more sensitive in the determination of valvular lesion compared to transthoracic echocardiography. We present a case report of a 30 years old women diagnosed to have mitral valve perforation during TEE examination which is rarely reported in literature.

Özet

İnfektif endokardit tedavisinde temel yaklaşım yüksek risk grubundaki hastaların belirlenmesidir. Transözefageal ekokardiyografi (TEE) yüksek risk grubundaki hastaların belirlenmesinde, komplikasyonların erken tanınmasında ve tedavinin yönlendirilmesinde çok önemli bir tanı aracıdır. Transtorasik ekokardiyografiye (TTE) göre valvuler lezyonların saptanmasında oldukça duyarlı bir yöntemdir. Bu yazıda tedavi altında iken TEE de, literatürde nadir bildirilen mitral kapak perforasyonu saptanan 30 yaşında kadın hasta sunulmaktadır.
