Abstract
We present a case of recurrent infective endocarditis (IE) in a 36-year-old man, localised on native congenital bicuspid aortic valve
and an acquired membranous ventricular septal defect with vegetations extending to the right ventricle. Patient was successfully
treated with standard therapy for IE due to staphylococci MSSA followed by aortic valve replacement and closure of ventricular septal
defect.
