Popis: Aorto-mitral discontinuity is uncommun complication of infective endocarditis. In the reported case, images were produced using transthoracic echocardiograms and transesophageal echocardiograms. The latter revealed aorto-mitral discontinuity and a perforated aortic valve aneurysm of the anterior leaflet. These additional examinations may assist in the planning of surgical procedures usually including double valve replacement in addition to aortic root replacement/repair.
