Left atrial and mitral valve endocarditis causing multiple septic embolizations – A case report

Acute mitral valve injury following percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion is a rare, but potentially life-threatening complication. This report presents a case of severe mitral valve injury following left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) that required mitral valve replacement. The LAAO device successfully was removed, and the LAA was closed with a double-running polypropylene suture. In addition, the mitral valve was replaced with an artificial valve. The patient had an uneventful clinical evolution and was discharged 10 days after emergency surgery.

History Of

We report a case of a 63-year-old man without a history of atrial fibrillation or mitral valve disease who was admitted to our hospital. Echocardiography revealed a large left atrial mass attached to the atrial septum. We suspected the mass to be a myxoma, but it turned out to be a large thrombus after the surgery. Left atrial thrombus without mitral valve disease or atrial fibrillation is rare. Although the degree of urgency varies based on the case, early surgical resection is recommended for a large left atrial thrombus to prevent embolism.

Abstract Background: The clinical manifestation of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) overlap with other disorders especially cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The prevailing conditions in the COVID-19 pandemic can distract us from other differential diagnoses.Case presentation: We report a 58 years old female presented with syncope episodes and dyspnea on exertion (DOE) with the left atrial (LA) mass, candidate for surgical removal and mitral valve replacement. Nearly 3 months later, she developed dyspnea, fever, and a sore throat cause to admit her with suspected COVID-19. During diagnostic evaluation, a larger LA mass detected that seemed to be COVID-19 induced organized thrombus with prosthetic mitral valve malfunction. The mass resected and immunohistochemistry revealed liposarcoma.Conclusions: The unusual early recurrence of liposarcoma and misdiagnosis with COVID-19 induced thrombosis is the hallmark of the present case that we keep other causes in mind besides COVID-19.
