Mitral Valve Repair and SAVR After TAVR Complicated With Endocarditis and Mitral Valve Leaflet Perforation
Poor positioning of TAVR valves can result in severe structural and subsequent infectious complications. Early surgical treatment in high-risk older adult patients can be successfully performed, with favorable outcomes. Scrupulous asepsis and prophylactic perioperative antibiotic therapy are the most important prophylactic measures for prosthetic valve endocarditis.
