We present a case of a patient with significant structural heart disease from previous cardiac surgeries who presented for an electrophysiology study and radiofrequency ablation. The case highlights the significance of intra-atrial conduction delays in such patients and potential pitfalls it can present while interpreting intra-cardiac electrograms especially during implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) interrogations.

Septic coronary embolism in a deceptive case of presumed isolated tricuspid valve endocarditis.
J Card Surg

Division of Cardiac Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
A 46-year-old female presented with native tricuspid valve endocarditis complicated by a stroke with a hemorrhagic component. There was no evidence of intracardiac shunt nor left-sided valve involvement. Delayed surgery was planned to allow neurologic recovery, however, the patient developed an ST-elevation myocardial infarction and cardiac arrest from an occluded right posterior ventricular branch of the right coronary artery from a septic embolism.

Unlabelled: This is a case of a precarious thrombotic mass straddling a patent foramen ovale which had already embolised to the pulmonary circulation. The diagnosis was initially deceptive and management challenging.
Learning Points: Echocardiography is mandated and can change management in haemodynamically unstable patients with pulmonary emboli.
