When Myocardial Injury in Lupus Is Not Lupus: Probable Antimalarial‐Associated Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Lupus Myocarditis

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Antimalarial cardiotoxicity may mimic lupus myocarditis in systemic lupus erythematosus. We report a 53‐year‐old woman with chronic antimalarial exposure, myocardial injury, biventricular dysfunction, electrical abnormalities, low lupus activity, and no myocardial edema.

Functional Mitral Regurgitation Post-Isolated Aortic Valve Replacement

Background: The management of mitral regurgitation during aortic valve replacement remains a complex question. Secondary mitral regurgitation often improves post-aortic valve replacement without mitral valve surgery, but residual mitral regurgitation can

Rapidly Progressive Bilateral Infective Endocarditis Involving Prosthetic Material After Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Infective endocarditis after repaired tetralogy of Fallot can rapidly progress when prosthetic material is involved. We report bilateral multivalvular endocarditis undetected by transthoracic echocardiography but identified by transesophageal echocardiography.

Mitral Valve Prolapse Presenting as Unilateral Pulmonary Edema Mimicking Pneumonia

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT A 40‐year‐old man presented with right‐sided pulmonary infiltrates mimicking pneumonia. Imaging and transesophageal echocardiography revealed unilateral pulmonary edema (UPE) from acute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to chordal rupture. Unilateral infiltrates with rapid deterioration warrant early echocardiographic evaluation.

Culture‐Negative Septic Pulmonary Embolism Secondary to Lower‐Limb Cellulitis Following Recent Dengue Fever Complicated by Hydropneumothorax: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Secondary bacterial infection and septic pulmonary embolism should be considered in patients recovering from dengue fever who develop focal soft‐tissue infection, respiratory symptoms, or markedly elevated inflammatory markers. Characteristic radiological findings may establish the diagnosis even when blood cultures are negative and infective ...

Iatrogenic non-coronary leaflet perforation as a complication after robotic mitral valve repair

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Iatrogenic aortic regurgitation secondary to leaflet injury is a rare complication of mitral valve surgery. For the first time, we report a patient who had progressive aortic regurgitation due to non-coronary leaflet perforation after robotic mitral ...

Thrombus‐Induced Prosthetic Valve Dysfunction Demonstrating Hypo‐Attenuated Leaflet Thickening: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) is an important and potentially underrecognized cause of late bioprosthetic valve dysfunction after surgical AVR. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography and electrocardiogram‐gated computed tomography, is essential for diagnosis, and timely surgical or medical intervention can effectively ...
