In infective endocarditis, the perivalvular abscess is a known complication with an incidence of more than 22%-29%, but the primary presentation of a healed aortic abscess without any clinical features of infective endocarditis is very rare. These sorts of cases are scarcely documented throughout literature. We present a successful surgical closure of healed perivalvular abscess cavity with aortic valve replacement and mitral valve repair.
在感染性心内膜炎中,瓣周脓肿是一种已知的并发症,发生率超过22% - 29%,但已愈合的主动脉脓肿在没有任何感染性心内膜炎临床特征的情况下首次出现是非常罕见的。这类病例在整个文献中鲜有记载。我们成功地通过主动脉瓣置换和二尖瓣修复对已愈合的瓣周脓肿腔进行了手术闭合。
