Rupture of Both Left-Sided Valves Following Endocarditis Causing One Trouble After Another: A Case Report

Despite the advances in managing left-sided infective endocarditis, complications are still not uncommon. Both aortic and mitral insufficiency can occur from infective endocarditis. In addition, valvular insufficiency due to rupture of valves presents acutely with cardiac decompensation and requires...

description Despite the advances in managing left-sided infective endocarditis, complications are still not uncommon. Both aortic and mitral insufficiency can occur from infective endocarditis. In addition, valvular insufficiency due to rupture of valves presents acutely with cardiac decompensation and requires early surgical intervention. Here, we report a case of a 38-year-old intravenous drug user male with Group A Streptococcus-associated left-sided native valve infective endocarditis who presented with acute heart failure three months after his treatment of infective endocarditis. Infective endocarditis complications can lead to severe valve damage, causing acute heart failure, and may require immediate surgical intervention.
