[A case of recanalization of LV-RA communication associated with tricuspid regurgitation complicating active endocarditis in chronic renal failure].

Open heart surgery (patch closure of the defect and tricuspid valvuloplasty with DeVega's annuloplasty) has been successfully performed on 35-year-old woman who has had a history of VSD closure and was undergoing hemodialysis. The patient has also been under treatment for active endocarditis due to streptococcal infection. Hemofiltration method was used during cardiopulmonary bypass. We describe our experience and discuss the management of the problems in this case.
