The most significant risk factors of coronary embolic events are valvular heart disease and status after valve replacement surgery, cardiomyopathies, chronic atrial fibrilation, syfilitic or atherosclerotic aortic lesions, intracardial trombi and tumors. In our report we describe a case of young man with embolic myocardial infarction. The origin of the embolus was the bicuspid aortic valve, degeneratively changed after infective endocarditis.

Keywords: acute myocardial infarction; infective endocarditis; systemic embolic events; bicuspid aortic valve
