[Aorto-right ventricular fistula associated with aortic valve endocarditis: a case report].

Abstract:

:A case of a 42-year old man with aortic valve endocarditis with peri-anular multi-chamber abscess formation and fistulous communication between right sinus of Valsalva and right ventricle, is presented. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed abnormal flow through the fistula confirmed at surgery. Intraoperatively the aortic valve was severely damaged with massive calcifications on the leaflets, anulus, right sinus of Valsalva and interventricular septum surrounded by fresh vegetations. Surgical procedure consisted of removal of calcification and infected tissues, followed by reconstruction of interventricular septum and aorta with pericardial patch and aortic valve replacement. Postoperative course was uneventful.
