A 22-year-old female with mirror image dextrocardia and rheumatic valvular mitral stenosis underwent closed mitral valvotomy using a Tubb's dilator with good results. Despite abnormal position of situs, the surgical approach was simple through right anterolateral thoracotomy, and the operator's hands were mirror image to that of levocardia valvotomy in certain steps. Preoperative mitral valve area was 0.8 cm2, and peak and mean diastolic gradients were 21 and 15 mmHg respectively. Postoperatively, valve area improved to 2.16 cm2, and peak and mean diastolic gradients were 8 and 3.1 mmHg, respectively.

Aerococcus viridansis an infrequent human pathogen and few cases of infective endocarditis have been reported. A case involving a 69-year-old man with colon cancer and hemicolectomy 14 years previously, without recurrence, is reported. A diagnosis of native mitral valve endocarditis was established on the basis of clinical presentation, characteristic echocardiographic findings and pathological specimen examination after urgent valve replacement.A viridansendocarditis appears to be particularly virulent, requiring a surgical approach in four of 10 cases reported and death in one of nine. Given the aggressive nature ofA viridansendocarditis and the variable time to diagnosis (a few days to seven months), prompt recognition of symptoms and echocardiography, in addition to blood cultures, should be performed when symptoms persist.
