Abstract Aims Isolated pulmonic valve infective endocarditis (PV-IE) is a rare form of endocarditis. Methods and results The authors report a case of giant vegetations detected by transthoracic echocardiography on pulmonic valve in a 33 year-old patient, with drug abuse history (Figure 1). Patient underwent surgical intervention by pulmonary valved bioconduit implantation. After operation a pulmonary embolism episode was treated by a direct oral anticoagulant. The final outcome was favourable. We report a short review of this rare pathology. Conclusions The difficulty in diagnosing PV-IE is due to inability to properly visualize the pulmonic valve by echocardiography. In this case, with such large vegetations, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) allowed a correct diagnosis and an effective surgical planning, confirming its importance as diagnostic tool.

Objectives: Pulmonary embolism (PE) after knee arthroscopy is even a rare occurrence in older patients. In this report, we present an unusual case of PE following knee arthroscopy. Methods: A 57-year-old woman normally active patient presented to the orthopaedic clinic has been suffering a right knee pain responseless to the medical treatment for a year. Hystory was unremarkable with the exception of hypertension and cervical biopsy. Results: An arthroscopic meniscectomy was received under spinal anesthesia after the application of an Esmarch and pneumatic tourniquet. Post-operatively first day, she was discharged. While transporting, she developed dyspnea, weakness and low-right breast pain. An immediate pulmonary angiography and cardiac echograpy demonsrated the obstruction in the right common pulmonary artery and subsegmentary occlutions in the left side. Conclusion: After a 24-hour streptokinase therapy(ST), coumadine was started. Near the end of ST, she complained a severe knee pain healed by the punctures. Because of a severe epigastric pain unable to control by gastric prophilaxy and therapy.The patient was consulted by a gastroenterology specialist and gastric endoscopy showed an acute gastritis. A control pulmonary angiography on eighth day demonstrated no thrombus including right common pulmonary artery. The patient was successfully discharged on the 11th day.

COVID-19 disease is a viral illness that predominantly causes pneumonia and severe acute respiratory distress syndrome. The endothelial injury and hypercoagulability secondary to the inflammatory response predisposes severely ill patients to venous thromboembolism. The exact mechanism of hypercoagulability is still under investigation, but it is known to be associated with poor prognosis. The most common thrombotic complication reported among these patients is pulmonary embolism. To our knowledge, gonadal vein thrombosis is an uncommon phenomenon that has not been reported in the setting of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy. We report an unusual case of ovarian vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism associated with COVID-19 presenting with abdominal pain. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of COVID-19 with absent respiratory symptoms and presentation with venous thrombosis in an unusual location.
