HighlightsDe Garengeot hernia is rarely reported in literature.This is the second reported case of transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) approach for de Garengeot hernia repair.Diagnostic laparoscopy followed by TAPP repair is a feasible diagnostic and therapeutic method for de Garengeot hernia repair.Diagnostic laparoscopy is an alternative tool to the reported imaging modalities for diagnosing de Garengeot hernia.
Aortic Valve Endocarditis Leading to Rupture of Sinus of Valsalva in the right-sided heart chambers is an unusual complication. Here we have presented a case where infective Endocarditis of Aortic Valve lead to Rupture of Sinus of Valsalva into the right atrium. Prolapsing vegetation also lead to a satellite lesion on tricuspid valve probably by direct implantation. Echocardiography with color flow mapping helped us to diagnose this case early and accurately so that timely surgery could save patient's life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
