Abstract EN
Eustachian valve endocarditis is rare.
A literature review revealed that only 29 cases have been reported and, among them, there is only one mention of an intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
We present an 82-year-old man without previous medical records who presented with septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction.
The patient was admitted to the ICU and deteriorated with combined shock (septic + cardiogenic).
A second ultrasound screen detected a prominent Eustachian valve with mobile multilobulated vegetation attached.
Transesophageal echocardiography confirmed a 12 mm oscillating mass attached to a visible Eustachian valve.
