Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with patent ductus arteriosus. A report of a case.

Abstract:

:A case of pulmonary valve endocarditis in a patient with patent ductus arteriosus is reported. The diagnosis was made by echocardiographic examination. The M mode echocardiogram showed "shaggy" echoes on the pulmonic valve and the two dimensional echocardiogram disclosed a big vegetation in the right outflow tract. The patient underwent surgery with complete cardiopulmonary bypass. The ductus arteriosus was closed by endopulmonary approach and the pulmonic vegetation was removed.
