Abstract
We present the case of a previously healthy 2-year-old boy with extensive infective mitral valve endocarditis, with 2 huge, mobile vegetations attached to the anterior leaflet of the mitral valve and to the left ventricular outflow tract, and interventricular septal abscesses extending into the left ventricular outflow tract without any septal defects. He underwent mitral valve repair and simultaneous drainage of the interventricular septal abscesses excluding the inlet portion to avoid postoperative complications.Entities:
