MATAMATA MORILLO, Miguel A; BELMONTE PINTRE, Zaira; RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ, Moisés  e  SEGADO ARENAS, Antonio. Late onset endocarditis in Amplatzer carrier: Conservative management in a pediatric patient. Arch. argent. pediatr. [online]. 2019, vol.117, n.5, pp.306-312. ISSN 0325-0075.  http://dx.doi.org/10.5546/aap.2019.e489.

Since their introduction, percutaneous techniques have been replacing conventional surgery as a first-line treatment for septal defects. Amplatzer devices were the first to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration, and their placement has become a standard procedure in pediatric cardiology. Bacterial endocarditis of intracardiac devices such as the Amplatzer septal occluder is very infrequent. We report a case of bacterial endocarditis in a pediatric patient with an Amplatzer device, who developed an infectious endocarditis six years after its placement and received conservative management with intravenous antibiotics, with satisfactory evolution.

Palavras-chave : Endocarditis; Amplatzer; Septal occluder device; Conservative treatment.
