    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old woman presented with triple valve infective endocarditis and ventricular septal defect. There were vegetations on the tricuspid valve, pulmonary valve, and aortic valve. She had multiple complications such as nephrotic syndrome, severe anemia, congestive heart failure, and convulsion. Her general condition was extremely poor. Intensive medical therapy, such as blood transfusion, mechanical ventilation, and continuous venovenous hemofiltration, allowed her to tolerate surgery. Triple valve replacement and ventricular septal defect closure was successfully performed without major complication. She was ambulatory at the time of discharge.
