Abstract
- Surgical treatment is recommended in tricuspid valve endocarditis not responding to antibiotics or presenting severe heart failure. However, risk of early prosthetic valve endocarditis especially in drug addictors is principal concern in the treatment. A 37 year-old man with tricuspid valve endocarditis underwent staged operation of primary tricuspid valvulectomy and secondary bioprosthetic valve implantation successfully. We report it with references of literature.
