Case Report: Use of Percutaneous Coronary Revascularization to Temporarily Stabilize a Patient With Streptococcus Viridans Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis Resulting in Non-Embolic Left Main Coronary Artery Obstruction.

ABSTRACT

A patient with a bio-prosthetic aortic valve streptococcus viridans bacterial endocarditis (SBE) presented with acute massive myocardial ischemia caused from a vegetation adherent to and extending from the valve and growing into the left main (LM) and left circumflex coronary (LCX) coronary arteries. Immediate salvage PCI of the LM and LCX was performed with initial stabilization of the patient.
