Abstract

Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis is a rare form of noninfectious endocarditis with a very high rate of embolic complications. We present the case of a 74-year-old male with known metastatic biliary adenocarcinoma, who presented with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction due to thrombotic occlusion of the right coronary artery in the context of a mitral and aortic valve marantic endocarditis.
Keywords: nonbacterial endocarditis; marantic endocarditis; coronary embolism; acute myocardial infarction; acute coronary syndrome nonbacterial endocarditis; marantic endocarditis; coronary embolism; acute myocardial infarction; acute coronary syndrome
