Infective endocarditis with perivalvular abscess following sutureless valve implantation, successfully treated with aortic root reconstruction and biological Bentall procedure
One of the issues with using a Perceval valve is that in the event of infection, it can lead to the spread of infection from the aortic root to the left ventricular outflow tract, potentially requiring extensive debridement and aortic root replacement.
