Repair of ascending aortic aneurysm following resection of subaortic membrane in a 4-year-old child

Abstract

Clinical findings of infective endocarditis in children may be nonspecific in the form of prolonged low-grade fever, weakness, and weight loss, all of which require careful investigations for infective endocarditis. Transoesphageal echocardiography was helpful in management of intraoperative repair of ascending aortic aneurysm as a complication of infective endocarditis in this child.
