Abstract:
Surgery for infective endocarditis in the pulmonary position is an effective method of treatment despite a very uncommon pathology and few operations being performed. We present an adult male patient with right-sided infective endocarditis where the pulmonary valve cusps were almost completely damaged. The pulmonary valve was successfully reconstructed using glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium by the Ozaki technique. The Ozaki repair was originally described for aortic valve repair in various aortic valve diseases.
