ABSTRACT

Active infective endocarditis is a disease with high a mortality rate which increases in cases where the Intervalvular Fibrous Body (IVFB) is involved. The Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) Technique is a viable procedure for complex IVFB reconstruction.
We present the case of a 25-year-old with mitral and aortic valve active infective endocarditis and IVFB abscess underwent mechanical mitral and aortic valve replacement and IVFB reconstruction with a single patch using the UFO technique.
