How Much Attention Should Be Paid to Urinary Tract Infection in a Patient with Congenital Heart Disease?

Abstract

Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). As therapy becomes increasingly effective, the number of adults with CHD is growing. There are many surgical options to resolve the pulmonary stenosis as a part of TOF, and Pulmonary Valve (PV) replacement with biological prosthesis is one of the solutions. We reported a case of prosthetic valve endocarditis in a patient with TOF.
