Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Here, we present a case of Salmonella infection in a post-myocardial infarction patient with a left ventricular aneurysm and mural thrombus. This is a rare case that was successfully treated with medicinal therapy alone. Our experience with this case documents the early spontaneous drainage of the myocardial abscess by 8 weeks of antibiotic therapy under serial two- and three-dimensional echocardiography to monitor the clinical outcomes and guide the decision-making process. This approach may be a viable alternative for intolerant, high-risk surgical aneurysmectomy patients. |
