Case Report (n=1)
Percutaneous transcatheter prosthetic pulmonary valves can be complicated by life-threatening Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis that may require surgical explantation.
Bhat et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis (n=1). Percutaneous transcatheter placement of prosthetic pulmonary valve was evaluated on Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis and multi-organ dysfunction. Percutaneous transcatheter placement of a prosthetic pulmonary valve was complicated by life-threatening Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis and multi-organ dysfunction at 4 months in a 19-year-old.
