A Complex Case report of Simultaneous Prosthetic Mitral Valve and Pacemaker Lead Endocarditis

Abstract

İntroduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening disease that usually affects a single heart valve. However, multi-valvular IE, either two-sided or one-sided is rarely reported. IE concomitantly affecting a left-sided heart valve and pacemaker lead is almost never defined, recently. Here, we present a patient who presented with stroke, mainly left-sided IE clinic, and was diagnosed simultaneouly with prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and cardiac device-relateated infective endocarditis (CDRIE).
