Laparoscopic splenectomy for splenic abscess secondary to infective endocarditis
Esplenectomía laparoscópica por absceso esplénico secundario a endocarditis infecciosa
Resumen:
Splenic abscess is a rare clinical entity that is most often associated with infective endocarditis. Heart valve replacement in the setting of an untreated splenic abscess is associated with a high incidence of prosthetic valve infection and death. A patient with infectious endocarditis and splenic abscess treated by laparoscopic splenectomy followed by valve replacement is described.
