Abstract :
A 61-year-old woman with levo-transposition of the great arteries, double-inlet single left ventricle, and valvar and subvalvar pulmonary stenosis presented with a large pulmonary valve vegetation unresponsive to antibiotic therapy. The diagnostic evaluation and the surgical management are discussed. At operation the pulmonary valve was excised and an abscess cavity was obliterated with a pericardial patch. She is currently doing well 3 years after the operation.
