Successful perioperative management of infective endocarditis in a patient after COVID-19

Abstract

Infective endocarditis in patients after COVID-19 has a more severe course. Cardiovascular pathology and pathophysiological changes in other organs and systems due to COVID-19 should be considered. We present a clinical case of successful cardiosurgical treatment of a patient with multiple heart valve pathology due to infective endocarditis associated with COVID-19 and coronary artery disease.
