Popis:	Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) accounts for 20.1% of all infective endocarditis cases. We report a case of PVE complicated by arrhythmias, embolic phenomenon, and sepsis. A 64-year-old female with history of mitral valve replacement presented to the hospital with febrile episode and malaise. Echocardiography showed vegetation at paravalvular area, and Staphylococcus aureus was found on blood culture. Aggressive intravenous antibiotic cover and hemodynamic support were initiated. The management of PVE remains a challenge due to its malignant course and heterogenous complications. Citation: Suwanto D, Lefi A, Chandra E, Putra TS, Mulia EPB.
