A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen revealed a large splenic infarct (Fig. 1).
Coronal view from a contrast-enhanced thoracic computed tomography scan demonstrates the extensive vegetations (white arrows) on the aortic valve prosthesis (blue arrows). The right atrium (RA), left ventricle (LV), ascending aorta (AO), and main pulmonary artery (PA) are noted.
