Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) is very rare and mostly occurs in the tricuspid valve, which pulmonary valve involvement in very rare. Most IE of the pulmonary valve occurs in patients with congenital heart defects. we report a case of the complications of pulmonary valve IE and pulmonary embolism which then causes pulmonary infarction in patients with VSD who have not been corrected. This case successfully underwent surgery for endocarditis/vegetation removal and septal defect closure.

Surgical Decision Making

Cardiac injuries following blunt trauma are rare but potentially lethal in children. We present a 23-month-old child who sustained an aneurysm of the left ventricle free wall and ventricular septum with associated ventricular septal defect following blunt trauma. She underwent successful surgical repair 6 weeks following her date of injury. Surgical decision-making surrounding this case is discussed.

Postinfarction Ventricular Septal Defect

We describe the case of a 54-year-old woman with a postinfarction ventricular septal defect (VSD) and ventricular free wall rupture who was stabilized with a percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) to allow for myocardial infarct stabilization. Following the rupture of the right ventricular free wall and cardiopulmonary arrest on hospital day 10, pVAD support was promptly converted to extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support for stabilization. After surgical repair was completed, pVAD support was continued for 4 days to allow recovery. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 11 and is alive and well 4 years later. Postinfarction VSD with free wall rupture may be salvaged with pVAD and ECMO support.
