May guide individualized surgery in complex endocarditis; leaves open need for larger series to assess durability and reproducibility.
Parish et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Endocarditis with massive aortic root abscess and atrioventricular septal destruction (n=1). Surgical debridement and reconstruction (Dacron patch, tricuspid and aortic root replacement) was evaluated. Surgical reconstruction of massive atrioventricular septal destruction from endocarditis in a single patient was accomplished using a Dacron patch and valve replacements.
