In case of valvular infective endocarditis, the infection is mainly localized on the flow side of the valves or at damaged valvular endothelium. We describe a rare case of an aortic valvular ineffective endocarditis with an aortic-valve vegetation situated on the aortic side of the valve. We believe this is the first description of this unusual localization of vegetations in a native aortic valve.
在感染性心内膜炎的情况下，感染主要局限于瓣膜的血流侧或受损的瓣膜内皮。我们描述了一例罕见的主动脉瓣无功能心内膜炎病例，其主动脉瓣的瓣叶赘生物位于瓣叶的主动脉侧。我们相信，这是首例关于在原生主动脉瓣中这种不常见的赘生物定位的描述。
