Pulmonary edema during repair of mycotic aneurysm of descending thoracic aorta, in postpartum period.

Infective endocarditis is uncommon during pregnancy. The difficulty in diagnosing infective endocarditis during pregnancy, may increase the likelihood of development of complications like a mycotic aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. We describe a case of mycotic aneurysm in the postpartum period, as sequel to delayed diagnosis; who developed pulmonary edema during its repair.
