Infective endocarditis is a rather uncommon disease, but it has significant mortality rates in the pediatric population (5% to 10%). We report a case of an infant patient with multiple vegetation in the tricuspid valve secondary to infective endocarditis caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. A tricuspid valvuloplasty was performed with a fenestrated autologous pericardium patch, providing satisfactory outcomes. This technique is simple, innovative, effective, and it could be applied in similar cases.
感染性心内膜炎是一种相当罕见的疾病，但在儿科人群中死亡率较高（5%至 10%）。我们报告了一例婴儿患者，因白喉棒状杆菌引起的感染性心内膜炎导致三尖瓣多发性赘生物。使用带孔自体心包补片进行三尖瓣瓣成形术，取得了满意的效果。该技术简单、创新、有效，可应用于类似病例。
