Infectious endocarditis with systemic septic embolization as a rare complication of cardiac catheterization
Exp Clin Cardiol.
2009 Spring.
Abstract
A case of infectious endocarditis with septic embolization as a rare but potentially fatal complication of cardiac catheterization is described, followed by a detailed review of the literature. Obesity, diabetes, many skin punctures, previous bypass surgery and abnormal valves are predisposing factors for bacteremia following cardiac catheterization.
Keywords: Bacteremia; CVA; Complications; Diagnostic angiography; Infection; Sepsis; Stroke.
