ABSTRACT
Aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis is often a challenging disease process that carries high morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography is widely used to identify infected valves and associated complications. One major complication of an infection involving the aortic annulus is dehiscence of the prosthetic valve from the aortic root and is usually associated with paravalvular regurgitation. Here, we present a rare case of complete prosthetic valve dehiscence without paravalvular regurgitation on transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
