ABSTRACT
We present a case of successful repair of the mitral valve for active infective endocarditis. Mitral valve repair was performed through debridement of vegetation and abscess, resection and repair of the posterior mitral leaflet and posterior repair with autologous pericardium. Postoperative period was uneventfully, with no evidence of recurrent infection, and echocardiogram showed mitral valve competence with mild mitral regurgitation. We demonstrate that valve repair is a feasible choice in cases of active endocarditis in children.
RESUMO
Apresentamos um caso de reparo bem-sucedido da valva mitral decorrente de endocardite infecciosa ativa. Reparo da valva mitral foi acompanhado de desbridamento da vegetação e do abscesso, ressecção e plastia do folheto mitral posterior, e anuloplastia posterior com pericárdio autólogo. Pós-operatório sem evidências de infecção recorrente, e ecocardiograma demonstrou competência da valva mitral com regurgitação mitral trivial. Concluímos que o reparo valvar é uma escolha viável em caso de endocardite ativa nas crianças.
