  • A 51-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with complaints of fever and hemoptysis. After evaluation of the fever focus, he was diagnosed with pulmonary valve infective endocarditis. Thus pulmonary valve replacement and antibiotics therapy were performed and discharged. He was brought to the emergency unit presenting with a high fever (> $39^{\circ}C$) and general weakness 6 months after the initial operation. The echocardiography revealed prosthetic pulmonary valve endocarditis. Therefore, redo-pulmonary valve replacement using valved conduit was performed in the Rastelli fashion because of the risk of pulmonary arterial wall injury and recurrent endocarditis from the remnant inflammatory tissue. We report here on the successful surgical treatment of prosthetic pulmonary valve endocarditis with an alternative surgical method.

  • 배경: 감염성 심내막염은 다른 심장질환에 비해 유병률과 사망률이 높고, 대부분의 임상연구가 대동맥판에 발생한 심내막염에 편중되어 있어, 승모판 심내막염에 대한 보고는 상대적으로 드문데 이에 대한 임상양상 및 수술 결과를 분석하여 보고하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 1995년 6월부터 2003년 5월까지 전남대학교병원에서 감염성 승모판 심내막염으로 단일 술자에 의해서 외과적 치료를 받았던 23 예을 대상으로 하였다. 2예는 인공판막 심내막염이었고 나머지 21예는 자가판막 심내막염이었다. 환자의 평균 연령은 44.8$\pm$15.7 (11∼66)세였고 연령분포에는 큰 차이가 없었다. 17예에서는 혈역학적 불안정이나 거대 우종으로 응급수술을 시행하였다. 수술 전 12예에서 울혈성 심부전, 4예에서 신부전, 2예에서 비장 및 신장경색, 2예에서 일시적 뇌손상, 1예에서 뇌농양 소견을 보였다. NYHA 기능 분류상 Grade II가 7예, Grade III가 9예, Grade IV가 6예이었다. 술 전 심초음파상 승모판 역류우세가 19예, 협착우세가 4예이었으며, 우종은 20예(86.9%)에서 관찰되었다. 혈액배양 검사상 10예(43.4%)에서 원인균이 동종되었는데 Streptococcus viridans 5예, methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus 2예, 그리고 Corynebacterium, Haemophillis, Gernella 각각 1예씩 이었다. 수술 적응증은 ACC/AHA 지침에 근거하였으며, 평균 외래 추적관찰기간은 27.6$\pm$23.3 (1∼97)개월이었다. 결과: 13예에서 승모판치환술을 시행하였는데 9예에서 기계판막을 사용하였고 4예에서 조직판막을 사용하였다. 10예에서 다양한 수기의 승모판성형술을 시행하였다. 동반수기로는 6예에서 대동맥판 치환술, 2예에서 삼첨판 성형술, 1예에서 변형된 미로수술, 1예에서 심실중격결손 낙합술을 시행하였다. 술 후 합병증으로는 출혈에 의한 재수술 2예, 종격동염 1예, 저심박출증 1예, 페렴 1예가 있었다. 술 후 30일 이내의 조기사망이나 병원 내 사망 및 판막 연관성 합병증은 없었다. 1예의 환자가 수술 3개월 후 다시 판막성형술을 받았고, 술 전 우종 전색에 의한 뇌경색을 보인 1예의 환자가 술 후 31개월에 뇌출혈로 사망하여 만기 전 체판막 연관성 사망률은 4.3%, 판막연관성 합병증은 8.6%였다. 1, 3, 5년 valve-related event free rate는 90.8%, 79.5%, 79.5%이었고 1, 3, 5년 생존율은 100%, 88.8%, 88.8% 이었다. 결론: 승모판 심내막염의 외과적 치료 시에는 감염된 조직의 완전 절제가 중요하며, 감염된 조직을 완전히 제거하면 대체물이나 수술 기법상의 차이가 결과에 미치는 영향은 크지 않을 것으로 판단되고, 술 전에 감염이나 우종 전색에 의한 뇌손상이 의심되는 환자에서는 술 후 추적관찰 중에도 뇌혈관 손상 가능성에 대해 주의 깊게 관찰하여야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • Approximately 5 percent of infective endocarditis are limited to the right side of the heart, the tricuspid valve being the usual site of involvement. Usually there is no underlying cardiac disease, and the vegetations occur on previously normal tricuspid leaflets. This paper reports a case of bacterial endocarditis involving the bio-tricuspid valve in a patient with tetralogy of Fallot, and who required prosthetic valve replacement in addition to surgical therapy for the congenital lesions.

  • We report the case of a female patient who underwent late reoperation following endocarditis surgery. The patient first underwent surgery at 22 years of age for endocarditis with aortic and tricuspid insufficiency. She underwent aortic root replacement with a homograft and tricuspid valve replacement with a tissue valve. Coronary artery bypass using the internal thoracic artery and ligation of the left main coronary artery were performed. Ten years later, failure of the homograft and the tricuspid valve developed. In the second operation, the patient underwent a successful Bentall operation and tricuspid valve replacement with a mechanical valve under deep hypothermia and retrograde cold cardioplegia without drainage.

  • A 50-year-old female patient with visual disturbances was referred for further evaluation of a heart murmur. Fundoscopy revealed a Roth spot in both eyes. A physical examination showed peripheral signs of infective endocarditis, including Osler nodes, Janeway lesions, and splinter hemorrhages. Our preoperative diagnosis was subacute bacterial endocarditis with severe aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent aortic valve replacement and was treated with intravenous antibiotics for 6 weeks postoperatively. The patient made a remarkable recovery and was discharged without complications. We report this case of subacute endocarditis with all 4 classic peripheral signs in a patient who presented with visual disturbance.

  • The concomitant presence of posterior mitral annular calcification and infectious mitral valve lesions poses a technical challenge with considerable perioperative risk when using previously proposed techniques for mitral valve surgery. Herein, we report a case of the use of a modified surgical technique to successfully treat a patient with mitral infective endocarditis complicated by a subendocardial abscess and extensive posterior mitral annular calcification.

  • 심박조율도관 관련 심내막염은 드물지만 치명적인 합병증이다. 과거 기계판막을 이용한 이중판막치환술 및 영구 심박조율기 삽입 후 발생한 발살바동 파열이 있었던 45세 남자로 간헐적인 고열을 주소로 입원하였다. 혈액균배양 검사에서 streptococcus viridans 배양 및 경식도초음파 검사에서 조율도관 및 삼첨판막에 유동성이 있는 큰 증식물이 관찰되어 심박조율도관 관련 심내막염으로 진단하였다. 항생제 치료 후 조율도관의 제거술과 증식물 및 감염조직의 절제술을 시행하였다. 술 후 4주 동안 항생제 투여를 지속하였으며 경과는 양호하였다. 퇴원 후 심내막염의 재발 소견이나 증상없이 외래통원 치료중이다.

  • Survival rates of preterm infants have improved in the past few decades, and central venous catheters play an important role in the intensive medical treatment of these neonates. Unfortunately, these indwelling catheters increase the risk of intracardiac thrombosis, and they provide a nidus for microorganisms during the course of septicemia. Herein, we report a case of persistent bacteremia due to methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in an extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infant, along with vegetation observed on an echocardiogram, the findings which are compatible with a diagnosis of endocarditis. The endocarditis was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy, and the patient recovered without major complications. We suggest a surveillance echocardiogram for ELBW infants within a few days of birth, with regular follow-up studies when clinical signs of sepsis are observed.

  • Tularemia is a potentially severe zoonotic disease caused by Francisella tularensis. A lack of awareness about tularemia can be embarrassing and could result in delayed treatment because of improper diagnosis. The diagnosis of tularemia is difficult, because the infections are rare and the clinical spectrum is broad. As only 1 adult case has been reported in Korea thus far, pediatricians in Korea may be unfamiliar with tularemia. We report our experience with a 14-year-old male adolescent with tularemia who presented with atypical pneumonia and possible infective endocarditis. Although the infectivity and mortality rates for tularemia are very high if left untreated, we did not suspect tularemia in this case until the incidental isolation of F. tularensis. The present case suggests that clinicians in Korea should be more aware of tularemia. This case also suggests that tularemia should be considered in undetermined cases of atypical pneumonia or acute febrile illness without local signs.
