Key result
A 34-year-old man with infective endocarditis was found to have a rare vegetation on the rim of an interatrial septal aneurysm, likely seeded from a large tricuspid valve vegetation.
Case Report (n=1)
This case demonstrates that the irregular surface of an interatrial septal aneurysm can serve as an unusual nidus for vegetation seeding in infective endocarditis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May prompt consideration of atypical vegetation sites in endocarditis; extends anatomic understanding but requires confirmation in larger cohorts.
Ho et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Infective endocarditis (n=1). Interatrial septal aneurysm vegetation was evaluated. A 34-year-old man with infective endocarditis was found to have a rare vegetation on the rim of an interatrial septal aneurysm, likely seeded from a large tricuspid valve vegetation.
