Abstract

Endocarditis caused by Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis (SDSE) is rare. Infected aneurysm is one of the most serious complications of infective endocarditis. However, no reports have described SDSE-related infected aneurysm. We herein report a successfully treated case of SDSE-associated infective endocarditis with an infected aneurysm.

Keywords: Infected aneurysm; Streptococcus dysgalactiae subsp. equisimilis; infective endocarditis; transcatheter arterial embolization.
