AbstractWe report an intricate aortic root replacement in a young male patient suffering from native valve infective endocarditis due to Serratia marcescens. Further complicating the total root replacement, there was an unknown infected aortic thrombus and a concomitant anomalous right coronary artery with an intramural course. As a result of our more aggressive approach, we believe that we lowered the risk of recurrent infection of the bioprosthesis of the aortic root.

Perinatal myocardial infarction caused by aortic root and coronary artery thrombosis in neonatal period is extremely rare and has a gloomy prognosis that may cause devastating complications. A 3-h newborn baby who had acute myocardial infarction findings on postnatal electrocardiography had a thrombus in the aortic root with hyperechogenic right coronary artery region, and impaired right ventricular functions on echocardiography. The patient was urgently operated and thrombus was successfully removed from the aortic root and the right coronary artery. In conclusion, for large thrombi posing a risk for embolization in the aortic root, an urgent surgical thrombectomy procedure should be performed.
