She has a history of a mitral valve replacement (Bjo ¨ rk – Shiley) for rheumatic mitral sten- osis. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) demonstrated mild perivalvular leakage (PVL) without prosthetic malfunction (Figure 1A) but no vegetation. After 6 weeks of antibiotics therapy, her blood culture was negative. However, 1 month later, the PVL flow increased, and a thick-walled cavity (arrow)
