Endocarditis of a tricuspid prosthesis causing valvular stenosis and shunting through a patent foramen ovale

A Bier, J Jones, E Lazar, S Factor and D Keefe

A young intravenous drug user presented with Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis involving the tricuspid valve, which was replaced with a Hancock bioprosthesis. She presented again with fever and dyspnea five months later and was found to be cyanotic. Recurrent endocarditis involving the prosthesis with right-to-left shunting through a patent foramen ovale was documented by echo and confirmed at autopsy.
