We report the case of a patient who exhibited a complication following implantation of the LeVeen valve. This is the first example of a delayed complication in our experience, occurring approximately 3 years after the implantation. Biochemical and clinical data showed bacteremia due to meningococci resulting from the valve (and this was subsequently confirmed by microbiological data).
我们报告了一例在植入LeVeen瓣膜后出现并发症的患者。在我们的经验中，这是首例延迟并发症，发生在植入后约3年。生化和临床数据显示，瓣膜导致脑膜炎球菌引起菌血症（微生物学数据随后证实了这一点）。
