Infective Endocarditis Associated With Varicella Zoster Virus Following Aortic Valve Repair.

We describe the management and clinical course of two children with congenital bicuspid aortic valve. Neo-tricuspidization was performed in one case using CardioCel leaflets and two cusps were formed from CardioCel and grafted alongside one native leaflet in the other. Both patients developed bacterial endocarditis associated with varicella zoster virus infection and required a second surgical procedure.
