Disastrous Course of Recurrent Infective Endocarditis after Tooth Extraction in a Young Patient with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Abstract
In a patient with moderate malformations of the left-ventricular valves disregard of antibiotic prophylaxis after tooth extraction resulted in massive mitral- and aortic regurgitation. After surgical reconstruction a relapse produced an aorto left-ventricular fistula with septic embolisations and cardiac decompensation. Valve replacement with a homograft reconstituted the hemodynamic situation. During both episodes the Duke criteria for infective endocarditis supported the diagnosis.
Zusammenfassung
Bei einem Patienten mit nur geringen Fehlbildungen der Mitral- und Aortenklappe kam es nach einer Zahnsanierung aufgrund fehlender Endokarditisprophylaxe zur Klappendestruktion. Trotz erfolgreicher chirurgischer Sanierung kam es zum Rückfall und zur Ausbildung einer aorto-linksventrikulären Fistel mit septischen Embolisationen und akuter kardialer Dekompensation. Durch Implantation eines Homografts konnte die Situation erneut saniert werden. In beiden Phasen der akuten Erkrankung war die Bewertung nach den Duke-Kriterien diagnoseführend.
