Pulmonic valve endocarditis after orthotopic liver transplantation.

Infective endocarditis is a rare complication affecting solid-organ transplant recipients. Isolated pulmonic valve endocarditis is also rare. A case of persistent bacteremia secondary to an isolated pulmonic valve vegetation occurred in a woman 10 days after liver transplantation. A pulmonary vegetectomy was performed as an alternative to valve replacement in addition to long-term antibiotic therapy.
