| Popis: | Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE), a cardiac complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, is commonly treated with anticoagulation for stroke prevention. We describe a patient with multifocal strokes secondary to LSE, treated with aspirin, without further recurrence. Our case highlights the importance of nuanced decision-making regarding antithrombotic choices for stroke prevention in LSE. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.) Graphical abstract Libman-Sacks endocarditis (LSE), a cardiac complication of systemic lupus erythematosus, is commonly treated with anticoagulation for stroke prevention… |
