Аннотация
RATIONALE: A single atrium is a rare congenital heart disease (CHD) involving zero atrial septal traces and preserved intact ventricular septum and atrioventricular valves, requiring careful surgical intervention. However, developing to Eisenmenger syndrome (ES) makes the surgery complicated. Based on bidirectional cardiac shunting, vegetation easily develops in case of bacterial infection.
PATIENT CONCERN AND DIAGNOSES: We reported a 35-year-old woman with a single atrium, patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, and ES who developed infective endocarditis on her left ventricular outflow tract and complicated cerebral abscess and who underwent challenged medical treatment.
INTERVENTION: Infection was successfully controlled after 4-time change in antibiotics over 4 months. However, surgery is complicated for her.
OUTCOMES: The patient presented a relatively good outcome during follow-up for >6 months.
LESSONS: This case report suggests that patients with complex CHD should accept surgery therapy earlier before developing ES. It is imperative to avoid invasive interventions to prevent infectious endocarditis.
