The Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 07/29/09
Hassoulas JA et al. – The authors present a 76–year–old woman with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic aortic valve. The course of her illness started with an ischaemic stroke and she was admitted with prolonged fever and an episode of loss of consciousness. Echocardiography revealed acute aortic regurgitation and dehiscence of the prosthetic valve with excessive “rocking motion”, aortic abscesses and left ventricular outflow obstruction caused by a semilunar shelf of tissue probably due to endocarditis vegetations.
