Concomitant mitral and tricuspid valve infective endocarditis: report of a case.

A rare case of native valve endocarditis affecting both the normal mitral and tricuspid valves is presented. A 25-year-old woman with an acute ischemic stroke was found to have vegetation secondary to infective endocarditis as the embolic source. One month after the onset of embolic cerebrovascular intervention, a valve repair with the implantation of artificial chordae, sliding commissuroplasty, and ring annuloplasty resulted in a complete recovery.

Composite graft replacement after aortic valvuloplasty in Takayasu arteritis.

A 24-year-old woman had undergone valvuloplasty of the aortic valve and external reinforcement of an aneurysm of the ascending aorta during the active phase of Takayasu arteritis 1 year prior to admission to our hospital. On examination, she was diagnosed as having a large false aneurysm of the ascending aorta with annuloaortic ectasia and severe aortic regurgitation, bilateral common carotid artery aneurysms with a left internal carotid artery saccular aneurysm, and bilateral subclavian artery and right vertebral artery obstructions due to Takayasu arteritis. Because of the risk of rupture, surgical intervention was carried out in spite of the fact that aortitis was in the active phase.
