Eustachian valve endocarditis.

Project description:Eustachian valve infective endocarditis is rare and mostly affects intravenous drug abusers and those with implanted medical devices or indwelling central venous catheters. The most commonly identified organism is Staphylococcus aureus. Treatment includes intravenous antibiotics for approximately 6 weeks. We present a case of Staphylococcus aureus Eustachian valve endocarditis in an individual without traditional risk factors.

Eustachian Valve Endocarditis: Echocardiographic Diagnosis in a Critical Care Patient.

Project description:Eustachian valve endocarditis is rare. A literature review revealed that only 29 cases have been reported and, among them, there is only one mention of an intensive care unit (ICU) admission. We present an 82-year-old man without previous medical records who presented with septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction. The patient was admitted to the ICU and deteriorated with combined shock (septic + cardiogenic). A second ultrasound screen detected a prominent Eustachian valve with mobile multilobulated vegetation attached. Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed a 12 mm oscillating mass attached to a visible Eustachian valve.

Aortic dissection masquerading as a bicuspid aortic valve.

Project description:A 37-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department with acute worsening of back pain and new onset dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed moderate left ventricular dysfunction and a bicuspid aortic valve (BAV). In addition, he was noted to have a dilated thoracic aorta concerning for a dissection, severe aortic insufficiency (AI), and both a pericardial and pleural effusion. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a Type A ascending aortic dissection. He was taken emergently to the operating room for repair. An intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography examination was performed which revealed a normal trileaflet AV with a Type A aortic dissection flap masquerading as a BAV. The dissection flap interfered with both the valve's function, causing severe AI, as well as the valve's appearance, causing it to look bicuspid on echocardiography.

Endocarditis of the forgotten valve: vacuum-assisted aspiration (AngioVac) of the eustachian valve: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundEustachian valve endocarditis (EVE) is a rare entity that traditionally has been treated with antibiotics or surgery, if refractory to antibiotic treatment.Case summaryA 64-year-old man presented with right shoulder pain and new-onset hypoxia. His blood cultures were positive for methicillin-sensitive staphylococcal aureus (MSSA) 1 month ago and he was treated with antibiotics at that time. Blood cultures during this admission were again positive for MSSA. Trans-oesophageal echocardiogram showed a large independently mobile echogenic density consistent with vegetation (3.0 × 1.6 cm) on the eustachian valve (EV). The patient was a poor surgical candidate due to his multiple co-morbidities, and therefore, a non-invasive procedure called AngioVac® was selected.DiscussionIn the setting of infective endocarditis refractory to antibiotics, the large-bore percutaneous mechanical aspiration (AngioVac®, AngioDynamics, Latham, NY, USA) system is gaining increasing momentum as the treatment of choice over standard surgical intervention for debulking large vegetations. AngioVac® has provided a minimally invasive and effective measure especially in those unable to tolerate surgery. The novel percutaneous technique is linked to great success in right-sided endocarditis, with the tricuspid valve accounting for a majority of the cases. However, in rare instances, the EV may be involved. To our knowledge, we report the first case of EVE treated with AngioVac®.

Prominent Eustachian Valve in Newborns: A Report of Four Cases.

Project description:The Eustachian valve (EV) is an embryological remnant of the inferior vena cava that during fetal life helps divert oxygenated blood from the IVC toward the foramen ovale to escape the pulmonary circulation. This remnant usually regresses after birth and is considered a benign finding in the majority of cases. However, EV can lead to complications in the neonatal period or later in life. In this short case series, we present four newborn infants with prominent EV who were symptomatic after birth and required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit.
