Post-Endocarditis Mobile Thrombus in Pulmonary Valve: A Unique Case Report of Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Anno:

Background: Infective endocarditis results from a complex interplay among bacterial virulence factors, coagulation, and hemodynamics.Native pulmonary valve endocarditis is a very rare phenomenon. Similarly, the development of a thrombus on the pulmonary valve is uncommon. In the following clinical case, these two rare events appear interconnected. Clinical Case: A…
Cardiovascular involvement in Systemic Lupus erythematosus

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular involvement is frequent in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Aortic insufficiency is a common valvular abnormality seen in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), it may be caused by a primary valve pathology or by an aortitis One of the cardiac manifestations associated with SLE and antiphospholipid syndrome…
Chronic infection and severe mitral regurgitation: a tricky case report
Anno:
2024
Background: techniques of mitral valve repair has improved in the last decades. Percutaneous approach is now a reliable and safe therapy in those patients with high surgical risk. Of note, the presence of implanted prothesis may increase the risk of endocarditis, especially in those patients experiencing recurrent infection. Case…
A case of a huge aortic pseudo-aneurysm following aortic bio prosthetic endocarditis: key role of 3D echocardiography.
Anno:
2024
Complications of infective endocarditis (IE) are associated with increased mortality and morbidity and therefore guidelines recommend early surgery [. Although two-dimensional echocardiography (2D) is the first line investigation, three-dimensional (3D) imaging provides incremental diagnostic information by allowing visualisation of structures in multiple planes. We present a cases which demonstrate…
Nosocomial endocarditis on aortic bioprosthesis, a case of accelerated atherosclerosis
Anno:
2024
Male, 79 years old, presented to the ED with chest pain and hemodynamically instability. Approximately one month prior, he underwent aortic bioprosthesis implantation for severe aortic stenosis. Pre-intervention coronary angiography revealed diffuse atheromatous plaques, none of which were stenotic. Additionally, the patient ‘s medical history included paroxysmal atrial fibrillation…
