Implication

Premortem bilateral coronary mycotic aneurysms in endocarditis warrant clinical vigilance; case report leaves incidence and management questions open.

Key Points

To report a rare case of bilateral coronary artery mycotic aneurysms diagnosed during life in a patient with recurrent infective endocarditis.
Clinical and diagnostic evaluation of a single patient presenting with repeated episodes of subacute infective endocarditis and gross mitral incompetence.
Electrocardiographic assessment performed to detect myocardial ischemia and infarction.
Electrocardiography demonstrated evidence of an inferior myocardial infarction.
Aneurysms were identified in both the right and left coronary arteries, representing a rare premortem diagnosis of mycotic coronary artery aneurysms.
