Abstract
In patients with infective endocarditis affecting the aortic valve, a major complication may
occur in a mechanism of direct extension of an infected jet of aortic regurgitation striking the
ventricular surface of the anterior mitral leaflet. We present a 36-year-old male with infective
endocarditis of the bicuspid aortic valve, who developed a secondary infection complicated by
a Mitral valve leaflet kissing abscess.
