• Pulmonic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a rare complication of infective endocarditis. • It is occasionally associated with significant pulmonic insufficiency (PI). • PVE usually has a benign course, but it can sometimes be complicated. • Doppler and echocardiographic parameters are commonly required to grade the severity of PI. • The decision to manage complicated PVE conservatively versus surgically is challenging.
• 肺动脉瓣心内膜炎(PVE)是感染性心内膜炎的一种罕见并发症。
• 它偶尔与严重的肺动脉瓣关闭不全(PI)相关。
• PVE通常病程良性,但有时也会出现并发症。
• 通常需要借助多普勒和超声心动图参数来评估PI的严重程度。
• 对于复杂型PVE,决定采取保守治疗还是手术治疗具有挑战性。
