Abstract :
We report a case of a 51-year-old patient with suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis. Capnocytophaga haemolytica was isolated in blood cultures and the repeated echocardiograms showed growth of vegetations and disruption of the proximal prosthetic valve suture line with progressive aortic regurgitation. The patient underwent a root debridement and replacement with a stentless bioprosthesis.
