Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) in children is a rare entity which presents a high rate of events during follow-up. Congenital heart disease, i particular ventricular septal defect (VSD), is the main predisposing condition to IE at those ages. The long-term risk of IE is of concern and whose follow-up can be complicated by a relapse of IE and reintervention. The endocarditis can affect the aortic valve (AV) and induce destructive lesions such as perforation of the valve making it leaky. We report an uncommon case of recurrent endocarditis on restrictive perimembranous VSD, and onset of severe aortic regurgitation after surgical closure, requiring a reoperation.

限制性膜周间隔缺损引起主动脉不全的复发性心内膜炎。

儿童感染性心内膜炎（IE）是一种罕见的疾病，在随访中发病率很高。先天性心脏病，尤其是室间隔缺损（VSD）是这一年龄段发生IE的主要易感因素。IE的长期风险值得关注，其随访可能因IE复发和再干预而复杂化。心内膜炎可影响主动脉瓣（AV）并诱发破坏性病变，如瓣膜穿孔使其渗漏。我们报告一例罕见的限制性膜周室间隔缺损复发性心内膜炎，手术关闭后发生严重的主动脉反流，需要再次手术。

期刊介绍： The primary aim of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is education. The journal aims to dissipate current clinical practices and developments in the area of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. This includes information on cardiovascular epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, clinical manifestation etc. The journal accepts manuscripts from cardiovascular anaesthesia, cardiothoracic and vascular nursing and technology development and new/innovative products.The journal is the official publication of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgeons which has a membership of over 1000 at present.DescriptionThe journal is the official organ of the Indian Association of Cardiovascular-Thoracic Surgeons. It was started in 1982 by Dr. Solomon Victor and ws being published twice a year up to 1996. From 2000 the editorial office moved to Delhi. From 2001 the journal was extended to quarterly and subsequently four issues annually have been printed out at time and regularly without fail. The journal receives manuscripts from members and non-members and cardiovascular surgeons. The manuscripts are peer reviewed by at least two or sometimes three or four reviewers who are on the panel. The manuscript process is now completely online. Funding the journal comes partially from the organization and from revenue generated by subscription and advertisement.
