Implication

Fatal post-mitral surgery endocarditis with thrombosis in comorbid patients warrants vigilant surveillance; leaves open optimal prophylaxis and management strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

63-year-old male with multivessel coronary artery disease, who initially presented with NSTEMI secondary to multivessel coronary artery disease with severe mitral regurgitation.

Intervention

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with repair of the mitral valve, followed by reoperation with a bioprosthetic mitral valve replacement and massive reconstruction of the right ventricle due to endocarditis.

Outcome

Mortality following postoperative complications (prosthetic valve thrombosis).hard clinical

This case highlights the severe and fatal complications, including endocarditis and prosthetic valve thrombosis, that can occur following mitral valve surgery and CABG in patients with significant comorbidities.
