Ischemic Stroke From Libman-Sacks Endocarditis Not Associated With Antiphospholipid Antibodies: Good Clinical Outcome Without Anticoagulation

Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE), a cardiac complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, is commonly treated with anticoagulation for stroke prevention. We describe a patient with multifocal strokes secondary to LSE, treated with aspirin, without further recurrence. Our case highlights the importanc...

description Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE), a cardiac complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, is commonly treated with anticoagulation for stroke prevention. We describe a patient with multifocal strokes secondary to LSE, treated with aspirin, without further recurrence. Our case highlights the importance of nuanced decision-making regarding antithrombotic choices for stroke prevention in LSE. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
