An 86-year-old man who had undergone two mitral valve replacements developed heart failure due to prosthetic valve infection and left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVPA). LVPA due to infective endocarditis is rare and caused by the abscess formation in the left ventricular myocardium. Infective endocarditis caused by enterococci requires attention to relapse.
一名86岁男性曾接受过两次二尖瓣置换手术,因人工瓣膜感染和左心室假性动脉瘤(LVPA)而出现心力衰竭。感染性心内膜炎所致的LVPA较为罕见,是由左心室心肌脓肿形成引起的。肠球菌引起的感染性心内膜炎需要注意复发情况。
