Abstract

A forty-six-year-old male who is a known case of autism, hypertension, dyslipidemia, end-stage

renal disease (on hemodialysis), bilateral renal cell carcinoma, but did not receive chemotherapy

nor surgical excision. He was diagnosed with left-side native mitral valve infective endocarditis

caused by Staphylococcus aureus in November 2018.

The patient had several risk factors including end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis, infective

endocarditis caused by Staphylococcus aureus and neoplasia. The patient had an uncomplicated

course of infective endocarditis followed by successful mitral valve repair. A multi-disciplinary

approach and early surgical intervention is the key for successful outcome.
