Abstract
The optimal time for surgery on the heart valves in patients with active infectious endocarditis (IE) is still controversial. It is a well known fact that cerebral, coronary or renal thromboembolism is the most common cause of death in patients with left-sided IE. Thromboembolism can develop before the appearance of clinical manifestations of the destruction of the valvular apparatus of the heart. Currently, early surgical intervention is considered as the most effective method of treatment of many forms of active left-sided IE. Early surgery involves performing surgical correction until the completion of a full antibiotics course. We present the clinical case of early surgical correction of the patient (A., 16 years) with mitral valve infectious endocarditis. The disease was acute, with recurrent embolisms to the right kidney with infarction and to the left clavicle with osteomyelitis. Surgical intervention was performed as a matter of urgency; surgical access – right-sided anterolateral thoracotomy. The girl was operated on the 4th day of the hospitalization to our hospital. However, time of treatment was lost at the prehospital stage and rapid mitral valve destruction did not allow to repair the valve. Therefore, the mitral valve replacement was performed. The postoperative period was favorable. On the 3rd day after the operation, the girl was transferred to the cardiology department. On control ECHO after 3 years: myocardial contractile function is good, EF 65%, the function of the MV prosthesis is not impaired.
