Double valve replacement for infective endocarditis in a hemodialysis patient: a case report

K Kinoshita et al. Jpn J Surg. 1988 Sep.

Abstract

A 57-year-old man who was in end stage renal failure underwent an aortic and mitral valve replacement for the progression of cardiac dysfunction, secondary to Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis. Cardiac surgery was performed using a Hemo-Concentrator during cardiopulmonary bypass, 82 months following the initiation of hemodialysis. This is the second report in the literature of a successful double valve replacement for infective endocarditis and congestive heart failure in a chronic hemodialysis patient.
