Pulmonary valve replacement with annulus enlargement for pulmonary valve
infective endocarditis: A case report
Abstract
Isolated pulmonary valve infective endocarditis (PVIE) is very rare,
with a frequency of 1.6-2.7% of all endocarditis cases. We report the
case of a patient who underwent successful pulmonary valve replacement
(PVR) with a bio-prosthetic valve to treat isolated PVIE.
