The patient underwent prostatectomy before two months. After the operation, he suffered from intermittent fever, chest tightness, and suffocation. Combined with the history, symptoms, signs, laboratory examination, echocardiography, imaging examination (CT), and the positive blood culture for Enterococcus faecalis, the admitting diagnosis was aortic stenosis and insufficiency, mitral insufficiency, cardiac function grade Ⅲ (New York Heart Association grade), infective endocarditis, and aneurysm of aortic sinus. After 4-week antimicrobial drug treatment, the patient was in a stable condition with normal body temperature, multiple negative blood cultures, and normal laboratory-related examinations. After careful and sufficient preparation, transcatheter aortic valve replacement operation was performed in the hybrid operating room with 32 mm Venus-A valve. The operation was successful and the patient was discharged on the seventh day after operation. He continued to be treated with antimicrobial drugs for 4 weeks after surgery, and his temperature was normal. He had no chest tightness, asthma, or other symptoms. One, three, and six months after operation, blood tests and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were normal, electrocardiogram showed sinus rhythm, and echocardiography showed a maximum aortic valve pressure difference of 7 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), no perivalvular leak and no pericardial effusion.
