Abstract

Aortic and pulmonary valve endocarditis with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is uncommon in adult. A 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with aortic and pulmonary valve endocarditis and PDA. We describe our surgical experience for treating PDA with double valve endocarditis.

동맥관개존증을 가진 어른 환자에서 대동맥판막과 폐동맥판막의 심내막염이 발생한 경우는 드물게 보고되고 있다. 60세 여자 환자에서 두 개의 판막에 심내막염과 동맥관개존증이 동반되었음을 진단하였고 수술적인 치료를 하였기에 보고 하고자 한다.
