Abstract
We report a tricky case of endocarditis because of the localization, aortic coarctation, and the pathogenic bacteria Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans. Furthermore, we underline the leading role of transesophageal echocardiography in the diagnosis of aortic endarteritis. First, aortitis was treated with antibiotics and, second, successfully operated on.
