文摘

Mural endocarditis is a rare clinical entity with an extremely high mortality rate. It is usually predisposed by an underlying structural intracardiac abnormality. We present two cases of mural endocarditis occurring in the right atrium which were complicated by septic pulmonary embolism, one of which was predisposed by a jet lesion secondary to a coronary artery fistula. Both cases were successfully managed conservatively with excellent long-term outcomes.
