Massive septic pulmonary embolism from infective endocarditis obstructing the right pulmonary artery: a case report

Infective endocarditis (IE) is a relatively rare but life-threatening condition with potential complications such as valve dysfunction, abscess formation, development of penetrating lesions and embolization of septic material. In this case report, we describe the case of a 56-year-old with IE involv...

Abstract Infective endocarditis (IE) is a relatively rare but life-threatening condition with potential complications such as valve dysfunction, abscess formation, development of penetrating lesions and embolization of septic material. In this case report, we describe the case of a 56-year-old with IE involving the tricuspid valve and resulting in near total occlusion of the right pulmonary artery due to embolization of a massive piece of septic material. While embolization of septic material is well documented, associated occlusion of the right pulmonary artery is rare.
