摘要

Objective: Investigating mortality following thoracentesis and to discuss that the cause of death was likely to be due to complication related to a large mitral valve vegetation. Method: Review of clinical data, autopsy findings and MEDLINE search.Results: A patient developed haemoptysis, hypoxia, tachycardia and hypotension soon after an unsuccessful attempt at left thoracentesis. He died despite aggressive resuscitation. Autopsy revealed a large mitral valve vegetation. We hypothesize that acute deterioration and subsequent death was due to mitral valve obstruction. We report autopsy findings.Conclusions: It is common for the critically ill patient on the ICU to develop pleural effusions secondary to heart failure. However, other reasons for rapidly deteriorating cardiac function should be considered; amongst these is the presence of endocarditis.
