Simultaneous aortic and mitral valve replacement for lupus endocarditis: report of a case and review of the literature

T Moynihan, R Hansen, P Troup and G Olinger
Department of Medicine, Medical College of Wisconsin, Milwaukee.

Severe aortic and mitral valvular insufficiency developed in a 52-year- old woman with systemic lupus erythematosis after previous treatment with corticosteroids, splenectomy, and cyclophosphamide for immune thrombocytopenia and hemolytic anemia. After aggressive management of the thrombocytopenia, simultaneous prosthetic replacement of both valves was satisfactorily performed; pathologic examination revealed myxoid degeneration. The patient was doing well with excellent valve function 26 months after the operation. The relationship of steroid therapy to lupus valvulitis is reviewed.
