Sumario:Infective endocarditis in pregnancy may have a misleading presentation and carries a high-risk of complications for both the mother and her infant. When urgent valve surgery is required, the fetal risk relative to cardiopulmonary bypass is challenging requiring a multidisciplinary management. We report the case of a pregnant woman with infective endocarditis on a bicuspid aortic valve who was successfully treated by a 2-step strategy including cardiac surgery. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
