AI Article Synopsis
- The patient had an undetected patent ductus arteriosus (a congenital heart defect) and developed infective endocarditis, which is an infection of the heart valve.
- This condition caused septic embolization, meaning infected material traveled through the bloodstream and lodged in other areas.
- Specifically, the embolization affected the right pulmonary artery and the coronary arteries.
