A 30-year-old woman with a more than 6-month history of fever, weight loss, general fatigue and dysesthesia of lower extremities was admitted to our hospital with a diagnosis of infective endocarditis. Blood cultures revealed Staphylococcus oralis. Echocardiography revealed severe mitral and moderate tricuspid regurgitation, as well as massive vegetations and aneurysms on the mitral valve. Computed tomography revealed an abdominal aortic aneurysm, left common and external iliac arterial aneurysms, and occlusion of the left common iliac, the deep femoral arteries and the bilateral tibioperoneal trunk. The ankle brachial pressure indices (ABI) were 0.94 (right) and 0.61 (left). She initially underwent mitral valve replacement and tricuspid annuloplasty. On postoperative day 24, the affected segments of the arteries were replaced with a woven Dacron bifurcated graft after resection of the mycotic abdominal and the iliac arterial aneurysms. We could not obtain a sufficient amount of omental pedicle to wrap the prosthesis. Her postoperative course was uneventful and mycotic arterial embolism and aneurysm did not recur.

D008943 Mitral Valve The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle of the heart. Bicuspid Valve,Bicuspid Valves,Mitral Valves,Valve, Bicuspid,Valve, Mitral,Valves, Bicuspid,Valves, Mitral
D008944 Mitral Valve Insufficiency Backflow of blood from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the LEFT ATRIUM due to imperfect closure of the MITRAL VALVE. This can lead to mitral valve regurgitation. Mitral Incompetence,Mitral Regurgitation,Mitral Valve Incompetence,Mitral Insufficiency,Mitral Valve Regurgitation,Incompetence, Mitral,Incompetence, Mitral Valve,Insufficiency, Mitral,Insufficiency, Mitral Valve,Regurgitation, Mitral,Regurgitation, Mitral Valve,Valve Incompetence, Mitral,Valve Insufficiency, Mitral,Valve Regurgitation, Mitral
D004696 Endocarditis Inflammation of the inner lining of the heart (ENDOCARDIUM), the continuous membrane lining the four chambers and HEART VALVES. It is often caused by microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and rickettsiae. Left untreated, endocarditis can damage heart valves and become life-threatening. Infective Endocarditis,Endocarditides,Endocarditides, Infective,Endocarditis, Infective,Infective Endocarditides
D005260 Female Females
D006322 Heart Aneurysm A localized bulging or dilatation in the muscle wall of a heart (MYOCARDIUM), usually in the LEFT VENTRICLE. Blood-filled aneurysms are dangerous because they may burst. Fibrous aneurysms interfere with the heart function through the loss of contractility. True aneurysm is bound by the vessel wall or cardiac wall. False aneurysms are HEMATOMA caused by myocardial rupture. Cardiac Aneurysm,Aneurysm, Cardiac,Aneurysm, Heart,Aneurysms, Cardiac,Aneurysms, Heart,Cardiac Aneurysms,Heart Aneurysms

D001157 Arterial Occlusive Diseases Pathological processes which result in the partial or complete obstruction of ARTERIES.
