Abstract
We report a case of intravenous drug use-associated tricuspid valve
endocarditis in a 28-year-old pregnant female at 26-weeks gestation.
Despite appropriate intravenous antibiotics, the patient developed
life-threatening complications and underwent planned cesarean delivery
at 28 weeks 6 days gestation followed by interval tricuspid valve
replacement one week later. Both the patient and her infant were
successfully managed through the perioperative period.20 May 2020Submitted to Journal of Cardiac Surgery 23 May 2020Submission Checks Completed
