[Clinical, diagnostic and therapeutic features of tricuspid infectious endocarditis].
From 1987 to 1998, examination and treatment were conducted of 12 patients with infectious endocarditis of the tricuspid valve (TIE). 11 of them were operated. TIE was clinically characterized by lesser circulation thromboembolism and marked right ventricular failure. TIE was successfully diagnosed by echo-CG (diagnostic sensitivity 83.3%). Serious disturbances of cellular immunity demanded immunocorrection. Indications for surgical treatment are listed.
