As adhesions prove to be a significant intra-operative obstacle, VATS segmentectomy can be ambitious, however this can be considered for simple aspergilloma in absence of severe pleural adhesions.","PeriodicalId":143338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Therapeutics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131412176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Low and middle income countries (LMICs) face the challenge of successfully treating infective endocarditis because of the delayed diagnosis and having little access to expensive drug regimens. Although several international guidelines indicate that large vegetations on cardiac valve protheses require immediate surgery for valve replacement, this intervention remains a challenge in LMICs with limited resources. In our case, a hemodialysis patient developed tricuspid valve endocarditis due to A. Baumannii which was diagnosed at a late stage when surgery was necessary. Despite a few major complications, the patient survived. At the 2-year follow-up, she is still doing well.","PeriodicalId":143338,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery and Therapeutics","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122042566","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
