An Occult Cardiac Tamponade: Echocardiographic Diagnosis of Aortic Root Rupture in Infective Endocarditis.
Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a rare yet critically severe condition, representing a considerable diagnostic challenge, especially among patients with pre-existing structural heart anomalies. This report details the clinical journal of a 49-year-old male with a known bicuspid aortic valve who initially exhibited nonspecific symptoms, leading to rapid clinical deterioration and the emergence of uncommon complications. The patient experienced an aortic root rupture and pericardial tamponade, necessitating urgent surgical intervention. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) was instrumental in confirming the diagnosis and facilitating the decision to perform a Bentall's procedure. This care highlights the critical role of TEE in diagnosing complex cases of IE and the imperative for swift intervention.
期刊介绍：
Asian Journal of Anesthesiology (AJA), launched in 1962, is the official and peer-reviewed publication of the Taiwan Society of Anaesthesiologists. It is published quarterly (March/June/September/December) by Airiti and indexed in EMBASE, Medline, Scopus, ScienceDirect, SIIC Data Bases. AJA accepts submissions from around the world. AJA is the premier open access journal in the field of anaesthesia and its related disciplines of critical care and pain in Asia. The number of Chinese anaesthesiologists has reached more than 60,000 and is still growing. The journal aims to disseminate anaesthesiology research and services for the Chinese community and is now the main anaesthesiology journal for Chinese societies located in Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore. AJAcaters to clinicians of all relevant specialties and biomedical scientists working in the areas of anesthesia, critical care medicine and pain management, as well as other related fields (pharmacology, pathology molecular biology, etc). AJA''s editorial team is composed of local and regional experts in the field as well as many leading international experts. Article types accepted include review articles, research papers, short communication, correspondence and images.
