Mitral valve Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis: a rare multi-surgery-tolerant survivor of Trousseau's syndrome.
Surgical case reports, 2018Co-Authors: Yoshiharu Soga, Kaoru Taira, Akira Sugimoto, Manabu Kurosawa, Hiromasa Kira, Kazuhiko Doi, Akira Nakano, Yoshihiro HimuraAbstract:Few previous reports have documented cases of Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis associated with Trousseau’s syndrome for which surgery proved possible for both the primary tumor and the cardiac lesion. The effectiveness of direct oral anticoagulants in patients with Trousseau’s syndrome has also received scant attention. A 69-year-old man with repeated episodes of cerebral infarction was diagnosed as having Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis after mitral valve replacement surgery. Stroke recurred preoperatively under apixaban administration. A stomach biopsy also identified gastric adenocarcinoma, and gastric surgery was performed on the 40th postoperative day. The patient was discharged from the hospital and has been free of thromboembolism under a regime of subcutaneous heparin self-injection thereafter. We have reported a rare multi-surgery-tolerant survivor of Trousseau’s syndrome in whom subcutaneous heparin injection was useful for preventing thromboembolic events over a long period.

Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis Assessment by Transesophageal Echocardiography
Chest, 1992Co-Authors: Daniel G. Blanchard, Robert S. Ross, Howard C. DittrichAbstract:Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis (NBTE) is difficult to detect antemortem and is often not suspected until embolic events occur. Transthoracic echocardiography is useful in diagnosing NBTE, but it may be limited by suboptimal imaging and resolution. Herein we describe the first reported case of NBTE diagnosed by transesophageal echocardiography. As early detection and treatment may avert significant embolic complications, transesophageal echocardiography should be strongly considered if other techniques are nondiagnostic and clinical suspicion of NBTE remains high.

Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis involving all four cardiac valves
Pathology research and practice, 2008Co-Authors: Jan Laco, Ivo Steiner, Eduard HavelAbstract:Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis (NBTE) is a well-known complication of hypercoagulable states, particularly in patients with malignancies. Its complications comprise thrombembolism rather than valvular dysfunction. We present a case of a 71-year-old man treated for colonic carcinoma, who died 1 month after tumor resection with clinical signs of respiratory failure. Ante mortem, there was no suspicion of cardiac disease. The autopsy revealed NBTE affecting all four cardiac valves simultaneously, as well as multiple systemic and pulmonary thrombemboli. Microscopically, neither microorganisms nor inflammation were found in the thrombi and/or valve tissues. To the best of our knowledge, this is the fourth case of quadri-valvular NBTE reported in the English-written literature so far.

PARALYZED: A RARE CASE OF THROMBOEMBOLISM IN THE SETTING OF Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis SECONDARY TO ANTIPHOSPHOLIPID SYNDROME
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2018Co-Authors: Thomas Flautt, Alison Spangler, Ashley Nickerson, Aaron Earles, John PratherAbstract:Nonbacterial Thrombotic Endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare subset of Endocarditis that requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose. NBTE is usually caused by advanced malignancy or systemic lupus erythematosus however we present an even more uncommon etiology of NBTE, antiphospholipid syndrome. We
