Rapidly progressive mitral valve disease from non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis to mitral stenosis in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundLibman-Sacks endocarditis), a non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), typically causes valve regurgitation and embolism but can rarely mimic rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS).Case summaryThis case involves a 59-year-old woman with a history of APS and SLE who presented with worsening dyspnoea and congestive heart failure. Initially, severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to NBTE resolved with vitamin K antagonist therapy, yet she subsequently developed significant MS with commissural fusion, a rheumatic-like feature. Despite stable SLE activity, echocardiography revealed severe MS with high pulmonary pressures, warranting surgical valve replacement. Intraoperative findings confirmed rheumatic-like degeneration, but the patient experienced a fatal cerebral infarction post-surgery, likely due to APS.DiscussionThis case highlights the progression of NBTE-related MR to rheumatic-like MS in an SLE patient with APS, an unusual clinical course. It underscores the importance of echocardiographic monitoring in similar cases, as chronic inflammatory changes in APS might mimic rheumatic pathology, necessitating vigilant management and timely intervention.

GPA-Induced Granulomatous Endocarditis Mimicking a Thrombotic Mitral Valve Stenosis.

Project description:We present the case of a patient with granulomatous endocarditis of the mitral valve leading to severe valve stenosis caused by granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Endocarditis is a rare complication of granulomatosis with polyangiitis that may be misdiagnosed as infectious endocarditis or, as in our case, thrombotic lesions. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Unique mitral valve mass: Think beyond vegetation.

Project description:Osteosarcoma is a rare cardiac malignant tumor. This case of cardiac osteosarcoma presented with atrial fibrillation. Initial echocardiogram demonstrated mitral valve echodensity and mitral valve regurgitation. Surgery and histopathological examination identified the tumor as an osteosarcoma. Tumor grade appeared to be prognostically important in cardiac sarcoma, with poor prognosis in high-grade tumors.

Acute mitral valve regurgitation secondary to papillary muscle rupture due to infective endocarditis.

Project description:BackgroundPapillary muscle rupture due to infective endocarditis is a rare event and proper management of this condition has not been described in the literature. Our case aims to shed light on treatment strategies for these patients using the current guidelines.Case presentationThis case presents a 58-year-old male with acute heart failure secondary to papillary muscle rupture. He underwent an en bloc resection of his mitral valve with a bioprosthetic valve replacement. Specimen pathology later showed necrotic papillary muscle due to infective endocarditis. The patient was further treated with antibiotic therapy. He recovered well post-operatively and continued to do well after discharge.ConclusionIn patients who present with papillary muscle rupture secondary to infective endocarditis, clinical symptoms should drive the treatment strategy. Despite the etiology, early mitral valve surgery remains treatment of choice for patients who have papillary muscle rupture leading to acute heart failure. Culture-guided prolonged antibiotic treatment is vital in this category of patients, especially those who have a prosthetic valve implanted.

A remnant mitral subvalvular apparatus mimicking aortic valve vegetation after mitral valve replacement.

Project description:Preservation of the subvalvular apparatus has the merits of postoperative outcomes during mitral valve replacement for mitral regurgitation. We performed mitral valve replacement with anterior and posterior leaflet chordal preservation in a 65-year-old woman. On the 2nd postoperative day, routine postoperative trans-thoracic echocardiography showed an unknown aortic subvalvular mobile mass. We report a case of a remnant mitral subvalvular apparatus detected by echocardiography after chordal preserving mitral valve replacement which was confused with postoperative aortic valve vegetation.

A Spiral in the Heart: Mitral Valve Endocarditis with Unusual Vegetation Shape Potentially Affecting Effectiveness of Antibiotic Therapy.

Project description:We report an unusual case of infective endocarditis (IE) in an 88-year-old woman, occurring on a prolapsing mitral valve and characterized by an atypical vegetation shape resembling a spiral-like appearance. After the patient refused surgical correction, persistent IE despite prolonged antibiotic therapy was observed, resulting in an ischemic stroke probably secondary to septic embolus. The importance of vegetation shape in the management of patients with IE was classically related to the increased risk of embolization associated with pedunculated, irregular, and multilobed masses. We hypothesize that the unusual spiral-like vegetation shape in our patient may have favored IE persistence by two mechanisms, namely, a decrease of the exposed vegetation surface with creation of an internal core where the penetration of antimicrobial agents was obstacled and the creation of blood turbulence within the vegetation preventing a prolonged contact with circulating antibiotics. These considerations suggest that vegetation shape might be considered of importance in patients with IE not only because of its classical association with embolization risk, but also because of its potential effect on the efficacy of antibiotic therapy.
