- Abstract
We present a case of septic embolization of the right radial artery by a cardiogenic embolus resulting from infective endocarditis. After the first suspicion of a palmar forearm phlegmon due to tenosynovitis was voiced, surgery revealed a long-segment occlusion of the radial artery. We resected the thrombosed part of the artery and reconstructed the latter with a vein interposition graft. Further diagnostic evaluation by echocardiography revealed vegetations on the anterior mitral leaflet. Reconstruction of the mitral valve was performed by annuloplasty., Competing Interests: M.
