Abstract

Right-sided native valve infective endocarditis (IE) includes tricuspid valve (TV) and pulmonic valve (PV). It represents 10% of all cases. However, it is more common in persons who inject drugs or in presence of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED). Pulmonic valve endocarditis is a rare infection and represents ∼1% of all cases. Our case represents a patient with large pulmonic valve vegetation with no known common risk factors for right-sided IE.
