A Relentless Invader of a Marfan Heart: A Case Report on Fungal Endocarditis Complicating Marfan Syndrome

REPORT(SCAAR) with a 28 mm AlboGraft (PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene graft) and aortic valve resuspension (Fig. 2A).The patient presented with features suggestive of annuloaortic ectasia with severe aortic regurgitation, 8 months after the SCAAR surgery.He was posted for redo sternotomy and underwent Bentall procedure with No. 27 TTK Chitra mechanical heart valve prosthesis (Fig. 2B).The postoperative period was uneventful, and echocardiography (ECHO) showed no evidence of a paravalvular leak, clot, or vegetations.
