Abstract
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a serious complication following any cardiac surgery. Pseudomonas as the causative organism is very rare. The authors report a case of IE post cardiac surgery for ventricular septal defect closure which was found to be caused by Pseudomonas involving the pulmonary valve. It was successfully managed by resection of a considerable amount of vegetation that had damaged the pulmonary valve. A previously placed patch was removed and pulmonary valve reconstruction using the right atrial appendage was accomplished.
