Abstract
This report describes the case of a patient in whom Candida albicans tricuspid valve endocarditis was treated by excision of a large vegetation and partial tricuspid valvectomy without prosthetic valve replacement. In select patients, valve-sparing debridement may allow a long-term cure and may be the procedure of choice in the treatment of Candida tricuspid valve endocarditis.Entities:
