ABSTRACT
A 38-year-old female was admitted to our hospital because she was suffered from severe dyspnea on effort. She had a history of nasal bleeding, endocarditis, fever, proteinuria, and alopecia at the age of 16, and was diagnosed as SLE. She was suffered from recurrent cerebral infarctions at the age of 35 and 38, and then mitral regurgitation was pointed out. Preoperative examination revealed non-active phase of SLE and UCG showed massive mitral regurgitation. Operative findings showed thrombosed verrucca circumferentially on the mitral valve. Mitral valve replacement (B-S #27) was done with using a felt strip in order to reinforce the mitral annular tissues. Histological findings of the verrucca showed Libman-Sacks endocarditis. Postoperative course was uneventful. Surgical treatment for Libman-Sacks endocarditis is extremely rare.
