Infective endocarditis is a severe but rarely diagnosed disease, characterized by the presence of bacterial infection at the level of the cardiac valves. Although the incidence of the disease is very low, the consequences are severe and the prognosis is very poor, outlining a high mortality rate among cases. The present report highlights the case of a 7-year-old dog presented with abrupt changes in the respiratory pattern, obtunded and in lateral recumbency.

Infective endocarditis, particularly after implanting valve prostheses, poses significant surgical challenges, often requiring complex interventions. We describe a case of a 37-year-old male with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, unsuccessfully treated with mechanical valve prostheses. Continued infection led to the destruction of the intervalvular fibrous body, necessitating a Commando procedure involving radical debridement and replacement of both aortic and mitral valves with complex patch reconstruction.

The definitive management of an aortic root abscess is an operation associated with high morbidity and mortality. These operations are convoluted, time-consuming, and involve conceptionally intricate reconstructions. Following debridement of periannular abscesses, several challenges may persist, with one common issue being the destruction of the aortomitral curtain.

Background: Mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa (MAIVF) is a fibrous region connecting the anterior mitral leaflet (AML) and aortic valve. Pseudoaneurysm of the MAIVF is a rare condition that has been reported as a sequela of infective endocarditis (IE) and surgical trauma. Here, we report a case of a ruptured pseudoaneurysm of the MAIVF, along with some literature reviews.

This case presents a Commando procedure with posterior atrioventricular groove reconstruction in a patient after double-valve replacement performed in another hospital with a posterior atrioventricular groove patch due to mitral annular calcification for aortomitral Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis. The patient was transferred to our institution on postoperative day 6 under femoro-axillary venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation with cardiogenic shock and pulmonary oedema due to patch dehiscence and severe periprosthetic mitral leak. To control pulmonary oedema and decrease myocardial tension, left atrial venting was performed in the intensive care unit through a redo sternotomy.
