A 65-year-old man with a history of aortic valve replacement surgery and non-coronary artery disease was admitted to the emergency department with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Coronary angiography revealed left anterior descending (LAD) artery occlusion, which was treated successfully with angioplasty. The patient developed obstructive valvular dysfunction, and large vegetation was observed on echocardiography. The patient subsequently developed irreversible septic shock and died several days later. The pathology report identified Aspergillus as the etiologic agent. |
