Clinical Case of Correction of an Acquired Gerbode Defect After Mitral Valve Replacement in a Patient With New Coronavirus Infection

Abstract

Clinical case. A patient after mitral valve replacement surgery for infective endocarditis was hospitalized with a new coronavirus infection. The examination revealed a left ventricular-right atrial communication. The complex treatment with a good clinical effect was performed at the N.V. Sklifosovsky Research Institute for Emergency Medicine. Conclusions In the context of a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, patients with a new coronavirus infection who have undergone a history of heart surgery are subject to greater clinical vigilance regarding the development of postoperative complications, including rare ones.
