dc.description.abstract | Systemic embolization in infective endocarditis is common, occurring in 45-65% of cases. However, the septic coronary embolization is a complication rarely described as a cause of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The presentation of chest pain as the first manifestation of endocarditis is associated with a poor prognosis. Mitral valve endocarditis with embolization to the left anterior descending coronary is the most common situation described in the literature. We present a case of a young male patient with typical angina caused by acute myocardial infarction, who had an obstructive lesion to the marginal branch of the circumflex artery in the angiography, and was later diagnosed with aortic valve endocarditis. | en |
