Aortic valve replacement in the anephric patient.
A 30-year-old anephric patient on a home dialysis program developed bacterial endocarditis, aortic insufficiency, and severe hear failure. After a period of intensive medical management she underwent aortic valve replacement successfully. One year following operation she continues to do well and is again managed by home dialysis without further complication.
