Following his admission to <em>,Heart and Brain&#8217;<\/em>, we immediately conducted highly specialized investigations and so came the diagnosis &#8211; bacterial endocarditis with septic infarction of the spleen. After a discussion with my colleagues we decided to have both teams working simultaneously. The cardiac surgeons had to prosthetic the aortic valve and the abdominal surgeons had to remove the spleen,&#8221; said Dr Tsvetomir Ivanov, surgeon at the Oncological and General Surgery Clinic.<\/p>\n<p>Due to the urgency and extreme complexity, both teams had to work simultaneously.

The multidisciplinary approach reduces trauma to the patient and blood loss during surgery is less.
