- Cardiac ochronosis is a rare condition linked to alkaptonuria, characterized by black pigmentation in cardiac structures, discovered in a 60-year-old woman during valve replacement surgery for severe aortic stenosis.
- Intraoperatively, the presence of a pigmented aortic valve led to the diagnosis of alkaptonuria, prompting a switch from a bioprosthetic to a mechanical valve for better long-term outcomes.
- Post-surgery, the patient was discharged without complications, with plans for regular follow-up to monitor her valve function and manage her condition's progression.
