Article Synopsis
- A gram-negative bacterium typically does not cause infective endocarditis, but a rare case has been documented.
- In this case, after an eight-year period following the Benthall-DeBono procedure, there was late dehiscence of an aortic valve conduit due to leakage.
- This led to the development of a large pseudoaneurysm and severe paravalvular aortic insufficiency, ultimately linked to the infective endocarditis infection.

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3), a long pentraxin, is not only released from dendritic cells and neutrophils but also from epithelial and endothelial cells such as alveolar epithelium. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) initially activates the innate immune system, causing a complex immune response. Clinical and experimental studies suggest that PTX3, a locally and systemically secreted marker, can be used as a predictor of the severity and mortality in respiratory infections.

Background: Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase, causes endothelial dysfunction which is an important risk factor for mortality in adult cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to investigate whether there was a relationship between the aortic cross-clamping (ACC) time and serum ADMA level in aortic coarctation surgery and importance of the serum ADMA level as a marker of mortality and morbidity.
Method: Twenty-two patients undergoing surgery for aortic coarctation in the neonatal and early infant period were included in the study, and the patients were divided into two groups according to the aortic cross-clamping time (Group I: <20-min, Group II: >20-min).
