Abstract

Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems Cardiovascular System & Cardiology Life Sciences & Biomedicine Respiratory System Science & Technology Surgery Transplantation
Bacterial endocarditis after heart-lung transplantation has not been described. We report Staphylococcus aureus bacterial endocarditis in a 12-year-old boy after heart-lung transplantation. He was found to have an apparently free vegetation in his left ventricle, which was surgically removed. After a stormy postoperative period, he successfully recovered and remains well after 6 months.
