Case Report (n=1)
Highlights an unusual echocardiographic finding of mid-diastolic aortic valve opening in a patient with staphylococcal endocarditis and a flail aortic valve.
Nathan et al. (1982) conducted a case report in Bacterial endocarditis of the aortic valve (n=1). Staphylococcal endocarditis was evaluated on Echocardiographic manifestation. Staphylococcal endocarditis of the aortic valve can present with an unusual echocardiographic manifestation of mid-diastolic aortic valve opening secondary to a flail aortic valve.
