Laubry and Pezzi syndrome is a rare but serious complication of ventricular septal defect that increase the infectious endocarditis risk. Authors report a case of an 18 years old young girl presenting an enterococcus infectious endocarditis associated to Laubry and Pezzi syndrome. Initial course is not favourable requiring a surgical treatment in the acute stage. Bacterial endocarditis combined with Laubry and Pezzi syndrome have a poor prognosis needing observation and strict preventive precautions when a favoring factor is present.

Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) that drains into the left atrium (LA) via the left superior pulmonary vein (LSPV) is a rare systemic venous drainage anomaly. It can cause cyanosis and unexplained recurrent strokes. Undiagnosed, it can seriously disrupt the conduct of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), causing sudden air lock and/or flooding of the operative field with venous blood.

Unlabelled: Laubry-Pezzi syndrome is a rare congenital heart disease characterized by the association of ventricular defect septal to aortic cusp prolapse responsible for aortic regurgitation (AR).
Case Presentation: We reported three cases of Laubry-Pezzi syndrome diagnosed in our department of cardiology on a cohort of more than 3000 cases of congenital heart disease. A 13-year-old patient presented a Laubry-Pezzi syndrome with severe AR and significant volumetric left ventricle overload and was operated on in time to allow a good evolution of his condition.

The intraoperative diagnosis of a persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) that drains into the left atrium (LA) via the left superior pulmonary vein may be difficult because of its extrapericardial pathway. We report here the case of a 48-year-old man, operated for a mitro-aortic endocarditis complicating a Laubry-Pezzi syndrome. The opening of the LA was followed immediately by a sudden air lock.
