ABSTRACT: Key clinical message
Percutaneous aspiration for debulking of vegetations in right-sided infective endocarditis has been well-described, however, this technique can be employed successfully for left-sided vegetations in select high-risk patients.Abstract
We report a case of percutaneous aspiration of an aortic valve vegetation in a patient with prosthetic valve endocarditis. This novel approach was selected after patient declined surgical intervention for an enlarging vegetation despite antibiotic therapy. The procedure was successful, resulting in the complete removal of solid vegetation without complications.
