Percutaneous aspiration for debulking of vegetations in right-sided infective endocarditis has been well-described, however, this technique can be employed successfully for left-sided vegetations in select high-risk patients.
We report a case of percutaneous aspiration of an aortic valve vegetation in a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis. This novel approach was selected after patient declined surgical intervention for an enlarging vegetation despite antibiotic therapy. The procedure was successful, resulting in the complete removal of solid vegetation without complications.
经皮穿刺抽吸以清除右侧感染性心内膜炎赘生物的方法已有详尽描述,然而,在特定高危患者中,该技术也可成功用于左侧赘生物。
我们报告了1例人工瓣膜心内膜炎患者经皮穿刺抽吸主动脉瓣赘生物的病例。尽管使用了抗生素治疗,但由于赘生物增大,患者拒绝手术干预,故而选择了这种新方法。该手术成功,赘生物被完全清除,且未发生并发症。
