Systemic embolism is a classic complication of infective endocarditis. Coronary involvement and acute myocardial infarction (MI) are rare and increase mortality significantly. Recognising this unusual entity is crucial to provide adequate care. Percutaneous coronary intervention and thrombus aspiration is preferred to thrombolysis, which classically increases intracerebral hemorrhage risk. The present article describes the case of an acute inferior ST-elevated MI due to a Streptococcus salivarius endocarditis in a patient with known bicuspid
aortic valve.
