[Surgical treatment for infective endocarditis with multiple embolic complications].
A 59-year-old man was transferred to our hospital because of severe right leg pain, dyspnea and anuria. Due to severe cyanosis of the legs below the knees and severe hyperkalemia, he had undergone embolectomy of the right femoral artery and hemodialysis. Medical treatment for infective endocarditis was started after the first operation, because transesophageal echo cardiography revealed severe aortic regurgitation and massive vegetation of the aortic valve. Amputation of the right leg below the knee and of the left leg below the Lisfranc joint was performed after 19 days and aortic valve replacement with patch closure of a perivalvular abscess was performed one month after the first operation. The post-operative course was uneventful. He was weaned from hemodialysis and the follow-up echocardiographic study revealed no vegetation.
