Abstract
We describe a patient with fatal aspergillus endocarditis after implantation of a mitral valve prosthesis. A thrombus that almost completely occluded the mitral valve prosthesis resulted in obstruction to inflow to the left ventricle. The area of valve attachment was not necrotic, and it appears that replacement of the prosthesis would have been beneficial.
