Abstract EN
Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare clinical condition characterized by the presence of sterile vegetations on valvular leaflets Gross and Friedberg (1936).
The most frequent cause of NBTE is antiphospholipid syndrome Hughson and et al.
(1993); malignancy, through an intrinsic condition of hypercoagulability, is the second most common cause Thomas (2001).
Systemic thromboembolic complications are frequently associated with this condition, but coronary embolism is not common.
We report the case of a patient with NBTE secondary to gastric adenocarcinoma with clinical symptoms of coronary and systemic emboli.
