| contents | Myocardial abscess as a complication of an infected arteriovenous fistula: autopsy report Cristiane Rúbia Ferreira Fernando Peixoto Ferraz de Campos Medicina Abscess etiology Surgical pathology Heart Diseases Myocardial abscess is a severe and life-threatening infectious complication that is commonly but not exclusively associated with infective endocarditis. It may also be developed in necrotic myocardial tissue, post trauma, in septic burn patients, in transplanted heart, in ventricular aneurysm and post angioplasty. Patients on hemodialysis are prone to bacteremia, and infectious complications occur in 48-73% of cases. Myocardial abscess is a rare complication of an infected arteriovenous ¿stula. We present an autopsy report of a hemodialysis patient who had an arteriovenous ¿stula with a polytetraÀuoroethylene graft where a local infection developed. The patient presented with fever and toxemia. On post-admission day 2, he unexpectedly suffered sudden cardiopulmonary arrest and died. The autopsy revealed a myocardial abscess, near a branch of the left coronary artery, with septic embolism. 2011 artículo científico 2236-1960 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=576060811005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5760 Autopsy and Case Reports application/pdf Hospital Universitário da Universidade de São Paulo Autopsy and Case Reports (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.1 |
