Implication

Coronary embolism may underlie post-AVR AMI in IE; leaves open whether targeted imaging changes outcomes in larger cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

70-year-old man presenting with acute myocardial infarction (Killip I) and a history of biological aortic valve replacement 11 months prior

Intervention

Urgent coronariography with aspiration of embolic material, antibiotic therapy (daptomycin, gentamicin, rifampicin), and subsequent aortic valve replacement with biological prosthesis

Outcome

Clinical course and recovery

Acute myocardial infarction can be a rare first clinical presentation of infective endocarditis due to coronary embolization.
