Event Description

It was reported and learned through investigation that a patient with a 27mm 11400m mitral valve implanted one (1) year, (1) month, developed mrsa endocarditis with thrombus.Patient is being treated with iv antibiotics with plans for redo mvr.It was initially reported that the patient underwent attempted viv due to severe stenosis.Annular thrombus along a quarter of the cor knots anchoring the valve was found and the procedure was aborted.The patient was transferred to the icu to address the thrombus.Per medical records, a month prior to attempted viv, outpatient echo showed thrombus on the mitral leaflet, the patient was transition from eliquis to warfarin.Plan is now for redo smvr but was postponed due to mrsa bacteremia.Doctors are highly concerned that he may have been bacteremia for weeks now and that his malfunctioning valve is indicative of endocarditis.Suspect use of his av fistula introduced the bacteremia (although fistula appears not to be infected) no other obvious sites, will continue to monitor.
