摘要
A 43-year-old woman was admitted due to fever, chills, and headache for several days and was diagnosed as infective endocarditis. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination confirmed severe aortic stenosis and showed relatively fresh 1.5 cm vegetation on the left coronary cusp of the aortic valve (AV) with frequent diastolic prolapse into the aortic root. This mobile vegetation partially occluded left coronary ostium, but it did not cause cardiac failure. TEE showed the vegetation to be in good position across the AV. The AV replacement with removal of vegetation and mitral valvuloplasty were performed. The patient was weaned from cardiopulmonary bypass without any hemodynamic instability or changes in ST segment on electrocardiography. She was discharged on the 28th postoperative day without any complication.
