[Multiple abscessing of valvular apparatus of the heart in a patient with secondary infectious endocarditis].
Progressive growth of infectious endocarditis morbidity has been noted in the world during recent 10 years. Among secondary forms of endocarditis rate of congenital heart defects is 21%. According to data of M.K. Rybakova (2007) the highest risk of development of infectious endocarditis (74%) is noted on bicuspid aortic valve. We present a clinical case of the patient C. with bicuspid aortic valve, secondary infectious endocarditis of aortic and mitral valves complicated with multiple abscessing of valvular apparatus of the heart. The following operation was carried out: mitral valve replacement with mechanical prosthesis ON-X 27 - 29 with preservation of subvalvular structures of posterior mitral valve leaflet, and replacement of aortic valve with mechanical prostheses ON-X-23. Despite development of severe complications in the patient C the outcome of disease was favorable. After course of rehabilitation the patient returned to work.
