Abstract
- A fifteen-year-old boy was transported to our hospital emmergency room due to sudden onset of chest pain, hemoptysis and dyspnea. He was diagnosed as persistent ductus arteriosus that had developed acute bacterial endocarditis with pulmonic valve vegetation and pulmonary embolism with pulmonary infarction. After conservative antibiotic therapy (vancomycin+aminoglycoside), we operated this patient successfully - patch closer of the ductus and pulmonary valve valvuloplasty - under the cardiopulmonary bypass.
