Question about infection?


  I just read your reply to my last message INFECTION FROM KNEE SURGERY AND AORTIC BICUSPID VALVE.  I understand everything except one thing:  What do you mean by invasive procedures?  Could you give me some examples.  Thanks!

Dear Nathalie
By invasive procedures, I mean surgery (such as knee surgery), dental extractions, endoscopic procedures with biopsies performed, certain urological procedures, etc.
Good luck. Feel free to write back with further questions.
If you would like to set up an appointment with one of our cardiologists here at the Cleveland Clinic please feel free to call 1-800-CCF-CARE.
