Systemic embolic events are known complications of bacterial endocarditis. Embolization of prosthetic valves has previously been reported in the literature. We report a case of embolization of native aortic valve tissue to the popliteal artery as the presenting event in a patient with subacute bacterial endocarditis. To our knowledge, this rare complication has not been previously reported.
系统性栓塞事件是已知的细菌性心内膜炎并发症。人工瓣膜栓塞此前已有文献报道。我们报告一例亚急性细菌性心内膜炎患者,以天然主动脉瓣组织栓塞至腘动脉为首发表现。据我们所知,这种罕见的并发症此前尚未见报道。
