Isolated tricuspid valve Libman-Sacks endocarditis in a patient with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
Mahajan K, et al. BMJ Case Rep 2017. doi:10.1136/bcr-2017-219217 Description A 30 year-old woman presented with an episode of transient ischaemic attack (TIA). She had a history of four consecutive first trimester abortions over the past 5 years and had no live issues. A physical examination revealed livedo reticularis on her palms and feet (figure 1). On cardiac auscultation, a pansystolic mur...
متن کاملPerforated mitral valve aneurysm associated with Libman-Sacks endocarditis.
The perforation of a mitral valve aneurysm is a rare disease which induces acute mitral regurgitation and is usually induced by infective endocarditis; however, in this case report, acute heart failure was caused by a perforated mitral valve aneurysm that was speculated to be due to Libman-Sacks endocarditis with systemic lupus erythematosis and secondary anti-phospholipid syndrome. Mitral valv...
متن کاملLibman-Sacks endocarditis in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus with secondary antiphospholipid syndrome
Background: Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE) is characterized by sterile lesions that commonly affect the aortic and mitral heart valves. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been associated with LSE. Cardiac manifestations including LSE could be interrelated with other manifestations and early diagnosis could help in preventing further complications. Case...
متن کاملLibman-Sacks endocarditis and cerebral embolization in antiphospholipid syndrome.
In antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), there is a high prevalence of valvular heart disease which leads to increased risk of thrombo-embolic events, in particular, cerebrovascular events. We present a patient with cerebral infarction, previous deep-vein thrombosis, and miscarriages with positive lupus anticoagulant and anticardiolipin antibodies. Echocardiographic examination revealed mitral valve...
متن کاملLupus-Negative Libman-Sacks Endocarditis Complicated by Catastrophic Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Libman-Sacks endocarditis is characterized by sterile and verrucous lesions that predominantly affect the aortic and mitral valves. In most cases, patients do not have significant valvular dysfunction. However, patients with significant valvular dysfunction may present with serious complications such as cardiac failure, arrhythmias, and thromboembolic events. Recently, association of Libman-Sac...
