Abstract

Despite significant advances in prevention, infective endocarditis of the right heart is one of the most serious diseases in the early postpartum period. High mortality and difficulties in deciding on surgical treatment make this disease the subject of discussions between obstetrician-gynecologists, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons in choosing the optimal treatment tactics. In most cases, complete sanation of the body is achieved only after a phased or one-stage surgery - ectripation of the uterus and sanation of the heart cavities. The article presents a case of successful conservative treatment of infective endocarditis of the right heart in the parturient mother, consisting in the elimination of the source of infection - extirpation of the uterus by fallopian tubes, with a parallel long course of multicomponent antibiotic therapy.
