INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS OF AORTAL AND MITRAL HEART VALVES AT CHRONIC UROSEPSIS

I.Ya.Horbachevsky Ternopil National Medical University, Ternopil,

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a multisystem disease that results from an infection, usually a bacterial one, on the endocardial heart surface. A clinical case of a patient admitted to the department of cardiovascular surgery with a diagnosis of active infectious endocarditis of the aortic and mitral valves with concomitant chronic urosepsis is described. According to the bacteriological study an etiological relationship between the origin of heart pathology and chronic urosepsis was established. The results of current methods of visual diagnostics on the basis of which the preoperative diagnosis was formed are also described. Prosthetics of the On-X 19 aortic valve and On-X 27/29 mitral valve was performed. The postoperative period and the features of its course were assessed, taking into account the etiological nature of infective endocarditis. This clinical case clearly shows that any chronic infectious process can cause damage to the endocardium, even with slowly developing processes of atypical origin, for example, the urinary system. Thus, this case indicates that it is necessary to examine a patient with acute and chronic infectious processes carefully and comprehensively for infective endocarditis, since in the early stages the disease manifests itself gradually; and this helps prevent serious complications in the future.
