We present a rare case of left ventricular to right atrial communication - a Gerbode type defect discovered in an adult man with systolic murmur at the left sternal border in physical exam. We report this case because this congenital defect is very rare, more often this pathology was reported after trauma, endocarditis or aortic valve replacement.

We present a case of late infective endocarditis on the mechanical aortic valve prosthesis, complicated by large paraortic abscesus. It was dificult to diagnosed this patient, because of negative blood cultures results and not diagnostic view in transthoracic echocardiogram. Transesophageal echo was performed just before cardiac surgery because of very bad patient's condition.

Infective endocarditis in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is uncommon. We present a case of extensive infective endocarditis in a female patient with mild hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome. Upon a definite diagnosis, an urgent operation was performed successfully, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The clinical features and the possible mechanisms of long QT syndrome of this patient are discussed.

We report a case of a 33-year-old man with infective endocarditis of both atrioventricular valves coexisting with a congenital heart defect: atrioventricular canal defect. Transthoracic and transesopageal echocardiography showed complete atrioventricular canal defect and vegetations affecting both the normal mitral and tricuspid valves. The patient received a combined antibiotic therapy and was qualified for cardiosurgical correction.

A case of a 33-year-old previously healthy man who due to a car accident suffered from severe multiorgan injuries, is presented. Two months following the injury, the patient developed symptoms of severe heart failure. A significant mitral regurgitation was confirmed together with a torn chordate tendineae being the main cause of the valve dysfunction. Mitral valve plasty was performed using a Carpentier Edwards mitral ring. After 14 months, the patient was selected for reoperation due to the endocarditis process which also affected the mitral ring. The patient had a St. Jude Medical 27-mm mitral valve implanted.

We present a case of recurrent infective endocarditis (IE) in a 36-year-old man, localised on native congenital bicuspid aortic valve and an acquired membranous ventricular septal defect with vegetations extending to the right ventricle. Patient was successfully treated with standard therapy for IE due to staphylococci MSSA followed by aortic valve replacement and closure of ventricular septal defect.

A case of a 50-year-old man admitted to the cardiology department due to massive infective endocarditis is presented. Diagnosis was confirmed by further investigations and patient was referred to cardiosurgery department. The surgery revealed destruction of mitral, tricuspid and aortic valve, thus three bioprostheses were implanted. The treatment was successful and six months after surgery patient was in good overall condition.

This article presents a case of infective endocarditis secondary to ventricular septal defect with an extention of a process to mitral and aortic valves.

We presented a very rare case of the fistula to coronary artery during staphylococcal aortic valve endocarditis in a young man. The tranesophageal echocardiography detected vegetation on aortic valve leaflets and large regurgitatin. During transesophageal echocardiography the peri-anular multi-chamber abscess formation and fistulous communication to circumflex coronary artery was detected.

During a period of 25 years (1979-2004), 24060 operations with extracorporeal circulation were performed. Of them 9536 (39.6%) were valvular procedures and 763 were combined with coronary bypass grafting. 4315 pts were operated (45.3% of valvular operations) because of mitral valve disease 5559 mitral valves were corrected, including multivalvular and combined procedures. Initially, mitral surgeries were predominant, but currently aortic valves are operated two times more frequently. In 85.5% of cases mitral valve replacement was necessary (with prosthetic valve), but 803 pts underwent reconstructive surgery (445 commissurotomies and 358 valvo/annuloplasties, including 135 implantations of annuloplasty rings). Additionally, 421 DeVega tricuspid valve annuloplasties were performed, and 15 tricuspid rings were implanted. Because of infective endocarditis 182 mitral valves were corrected, including the replacement of 78 infected prostheses. The pts age varied between 10 and 85. In 1980 the mean age was 40, but currently it has increased to 55, and the pts with coronary artery disease are approximately 10 years older. The general mortality among pts with ECC was 4.2% in 2003, and after valvular procedures 4%. The mortality after mitral valve replacement diminished from 12% to 4.5-5%, and after reconstructions was two times lower. The mortality among pts with endocarditis was 11.8%. Several characteristic trends were observed: increase of the number of elder pts, decrease of mitral valve procedures in comparison with aortic ones, more common coincidence of coronary artery disease, better preoperative status of the pts, and decrease of the operative risk.
