description An 88-year-old woman with an extensive medical history presented to the hospital with altered mental status, vague abdominal pain, and dysuria. A previous transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) prosthesis was known to be failing and was suspected to have acquired a vegetation. No other infective endocarditis (IE) stigmata were present. Fortunately, the work-up for replacement was allowed to proceed with a broader cardiac examination from which a mitral vegetation was identified and IE then treated.
