Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become an equivalent alternative to surgical aortic valve replacement also in patients at low surgical risk. Prosthetic valve endocarditis after TAVR (TAVR-PVE) is a dangerous complication with the highest mortality rate among endocarditis patients. Only a minority of patients receive surgical treatment of TAVR-PVE. We present a case of surgical treatment of TAVR-PVE in a 75-year-old patient. The success of the treatment is based on the reduction of the operative trauma and length of the procedure with the use of minimally invasive right-sided thoracotomy and the Perceval sutureless aortic valve prosthesis (LivaNova, London, United Kingdom).
经导管主动脉瓣置换术(TAVR)已成为低手术风险患者主动脉瓣置换术的等效替代方法。TAVR 后人工瓣膜心内膜炎(TAVR-PVE)是一种危险的并发症,在心内膜炎患者中死亡率最高。只有少数患者接受 TAVR-PVE 的手术治疗。我们报告了一例 75 岁患者 TAVR-PVE 的手术治疗。治疗的成功基于微创手术右侧开胸术和 Perceval 无缝线主动脉瓣假体(LivaNova,伦敦,英国)的使用,降低了手术创伤和手术时间。
