BACKGROUND: Mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) commonly coexist in patients with heart failure (HF). Their concomitant occurrence carries a much poorer prognosis than isolated valve disease. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of MR and TR is safe and effective, but there …

The Commando procedure for mechanical double valve prosthesis endocarditis with destruction of the aortomitral continuity

Sami Mouritane, Birgit Zirngast, Melanie Arnreiter, Günther Laufer et autres

Infective endocarditis, particularly after implanting valve prostheses, poses significant surgical challenges, often requiring complex interventions. We describe a case of a 37-year-old male with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, unsuccessfully treated with mechanical valve prostheses. Continued infection led to the destruction of the intervalvular …
