Zusammenfassung:Four months prior, the patient was admitted for methicillin sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia, 1st degree Atrioventricular block, and tricuspid valve endocarditis with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) showing 1.5 cm vegetation on septal tricuspid valve leaflet plus moderate-severe TR. Repeat TEE showed moderate tricuspid insufficiency, resolution of the tricuspid valve vegetation, and new high-velocity color flow between left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) and right atrium, confirmed by CT imaging.
