ABSTRACT

Acute infective endocarditis is a rare clinical condition but has significant morbidity and mortality; the latter reaching more than 60,000 cases per year in the world. On the other hand, the development of multivalvular endocarditis, the most severe form of the pathology, demands arduous diagnostic and therapeutic work. We present the case of a patient diagnosed with multivalvular endocarditis and who undergoes mitroaortic valve replacement, tricuspid valve exploration, and complete resection of the pulmonary leaflets.

Key words: Multivalvular endocarditis; Valvulopathy.
