Echocardiography.0742-2822https://doi.org/10.1111/echo.14287https://hdl.handle.net/11491/6352We have recently read with great interest the article by Carneiro et al entitled “Fungal prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis and endarteritis: An unusual cause of aortic root vegetations”.1 The authors reported a case of fungal aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), which was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy plus surgical intervention.
