Intractable congestive heart failure ensued about 2 weeks, 1 week, and a few days, respectively, after onset of infection. Two patients were operated on in the acute stage, and in both, perivalvular spread of the infection was found with abscess formation of the right sinus of Valsalva perforating through the interventricular septum to the right ventricle; valve replacement and repair were performed, but both patients died. The correct diagnosis was missed in the third patient, who was thought to have myocarditis and who died one week after onset of infection; at autopsy a perforation of a bicuspid aortic valve and an aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva were found. The technical problems at operation are discussed. It is concluded that patients with congenital aortic valve lesions, who develop congestive heart failure in the course of a febrile dise... |
