[A challenging decision-making-process pro or con surgical heart valve replacement in a case of long-term non-adherence : A case report].

René Florian Oswald1, H Christof Müller-Busch2.   

Abstract

A young, still multimorbid woman aquires infectious endocarditis. Anamnestically severe non-adherence concerning medical advice is reported. Complete cure may only be achieved by performing surgical heart valve replacement, which implies lifelong scrupulous oral anticoagulation postoperatively. Discussion evolves within medical staff, whether surgery should be indicated or not.
