Heart valve explanted due to defect. "indication for procedure: this (b)(6) y/o gentleman first underwent an aortic valve replacement with a trifecta valve in early 2017. In (b)(6) 2019, he presented here with endocarditis of his trifecta valve and underwent a redo aortic valve replacement by this surgeon. A medium sized perceval valve was inserted. The pt did well after this and intraoperative echo showed the valve to be well seated with no perivalvular leak and a pre-discharge echo also showed that the valve was functioning well with no perivalvular leak. The pt did well for several months and around 3 weeks ago developed shortness of breath and was found to have bilateral pulmonary infiltrates. He was worked up by a pulmonologist and an echo was done showing a significant perivalvular leak around the perceval valve. He was admitted to our hosp and he was worked up including a transesophageal echo and a cta, which demonstrated that there was a large posterior perivalvular leak. The cta indicated that a portion of the valve was missing and appeared to be located in the right common iliac artery, where i was not causing any flow obstruction. The pt was in moderate congestive heart failure, being controlled with lasix. He has had previous coronary angiography demonstrating that he has mid-to-moderate coronary artery disease with no significant lesions. The valve was removed and a new valve placed.
