Abstract EN
A forty-six-year-old male who is a known case of autism, hypertension, dyslipidemia, end-stage renal disease (on hemodialysis), bilateral renal cell carcinoma, but did not receive chemotherapy nor surgical excision.
He was diagnosed with left-side native mitral valve infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in November 2018.
The patient had several risk factors including end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, infective endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and neoplasia.
The patient had an uncomplicated course of infective endocarditis followed by successful mitral valve repair.
A multi-disciplinary approach and early surgical intervention is the key for successful outcome.
