We present a case of concomitant left ventricle (LV) to right atrial shunt (Gerbode-like defect) and anterior mitral leaflet perforation in a 32-year-old male after aortic valve replacement for infective endocarditis of bicuspid aortic valve. This case emphasises that intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography is a sine qua non for valvular surgical procedures.
我们报告一例32岁男性患者,在因二叶式主动脉瓣感染性心内膜炎行主动脉瓣置换术后,出现左心室至右心房分流(类Gerbode缺损)及二尖瓣前叶穿孔。该病例强调术中经食管超声心动图对于瓣膜手术至关重要。
