Infective endocarditis remains a medical challenge among urgent cases of cardiac disease. Multi-valvular endocarditis is uncommon and simultaneous right and left-sided valvular involvement, particularly affecting the pulmonary valve, is scarcely reported. A rare case of a patient with subacute myelodysplastic syndrome, who presented with endocarditis involving both aortic and pulmonary valves, complicated with new-onset heart failure, is described. The patient presented prompt recovery of both right and left ventricular function after combined aortic and pulmonary valve replacement.
感染性心内膜炎仍是心脏病急症中的一项医学挑战。多瓣膜心内膜炎并不常见,而同时累及左右两侧瓣膜,尤其是累及肺动脉瓣的情况鲜有报道。本文描述了一例罕见病例,患者患有亚急性骨髓增生异常综合征,表现为主动脉瓣和肺动脉瓣均受累的感染性心内膜炎,并并发新发心力衰竭。该患者在接受主动脉瓣和肺动脉瓣联合置换术后,左右心室功能迅速恢复。
