Infective endocarditis occurs in both native aortic valve and patent
ductus arteriosus
Abstract
A 45-year-old man presented with complaints of intermittent fever and
chest pain for 3 weeks. He had a 30-year history of patent ductus
arteriosus (PDA). Transthoracic- echocardiography (TTE) and
transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) successfully diagnosed aortic
vegetations and cast-type PDAs, but additional PDA terminal vegetations
were found TEE, and PDA vegetations were also found in coronary CT.
Multi model imaging has important value for its accurate diagnosis and
treatment.
