Summary
This report details a novel surgical technique for treating active infective endocarditis affecting both aortic and mitral valves. The described method adapts the Manouguian technique for complex valve replacement in infectious cases.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Infectious Diseases
- Cardiac Valve Repair
Background:
- Active infective endocarditis presents complex challenges, particularly when involving multiple heart valves.
- Standard surgical interventions may be insufficient for extensive valve annulus infections.
