Case Report: Reconstruction of the Right Atrium With the Left Atrial Appendage

We herein present a case of infective endocarditis of the mitral valve and a paravalvular abscess around the tricuspid valve. Preoperative blood culture confirmed the presence of pathogenic diphtheroids. During the operation, an unexpected infection of the free wall of the right atrium (RA) near the...
