Abstract

Cases of valvular disease accompanied by systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome are uncommon. Here, we present a surgical case of mitral stenosis and regurgitation with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. Mitral valve replacement was performed, and the postoperative course was uneventful. Pathohistological findings of the mitral valve showed degenerative change due to chronic inflammation, proliferative fibrous change and calcification without thrombus formation.
