Ventricular septal defect as a consequence of chronic bicuspid aortic valve infective endocarditis
Introduction: Native valve infective endocarditis (IE) is a result of bacteremia with high mortality rate of about 30%. Optimal outcome of valve IE depends on timely diagnosis, etiology, antibiotic treatment, involved valve, patient age, comorbid diseases, extent and location of metastatic complications, and the duration of the infection. Besides invasive procedures and mechanical damage breaking these boundaries, it has also been shown that routine daily activities such as tooth brushing, and chewing could lead to bacterial penetration of the bloodstream. Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common form of congenital heart disease with 30-fold higher risk of IE than in the general population. Common complications are congestive heart failure (HF), peri annular abscesses and systemic embolization. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is often a predisposing factor for the development of IE, but only rarely occurs as a complication of the condition.1-4 This case report presents the outcome of a patient with BAV that was complicated with a chronic form of BAV IE caused by inadequate tooth hygiene and resulted in the rare IE complication of VSD.
