Valve replacement was performed in a 30-year-old male patient with acute aortic insufficiency due to bacterial endocarditis. During a routine examination three months later, an aortic ring abscess was found by echocardiography. In the following night, the patient was readmitted with acute anterior myocardial infarction. Coronary angiography showed a compression of the left coronary artery by the large ring abscess of the aortic valve. 48 hours after surgical revision of the aortic valve prosthesis and the ring abscess, the patient died due to pump failure.
