Abstract
HEUER, Alejandro et al. Endocarditis infecciosa complicada. Insuficiencia mitral, oclusión arterial de miembro inferior, absceso esplénico. Rev.Urug.Cardiol. [online]. 2005, vol.20, n.2, pp.98-101. ISSN 1688-0420.
We present a clinical case of infective endocarditis in which three major complications are developed at the same time, a cardiac one (severe mitral regurgitation), and two extracardiac ones: low limb embolic acute arterial occlusion and splenic abscess. We also make a brief discussion updating the therapeutic of the complications.
