[Mitral valve replacement secondary to resection of mycotic cerebral aneurysm in acute phase of bacterial endocarditis--a case report].
We report a case of mitral valve replacement after ruptured mycotic aneurysm resection in acute phase of bacterial endocarditis. We have experienced a 68-year-old man with vegetation at the anterior leaflet of mitral valve and multiple systemic embolization. He underwent aneurysmectomy of ruptured mycotic cerebral aneurysm and embolectomy of left femoral artery eight days after subarachnoid hemorrhage. Mitral valve was replaced three days after successfully. If there was no heart failure preoperatively, valve replacement operation is recommended in acute phase of infected endocarditis or few days after cerebral aneurysmectomy.
