* A 57-year-old man with a history of aortic issues presented with back pain, leading to the discovery of an infected aortic endograft and complications like vertebral osteomyelitis, with C. valvarum identified as the infectious agent.
* This case emphasizes the need to consider C. valvarum in high-risk patients, as it can cause rare extra-cardiac infections beyond the typical endocarditis, such as infections involving endografts and bones.
