A Rare Case of Florid Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Autoantibody-Associated Vasculitis Involving Both Atrioventricular Valves.

Cardiac involvement is rare in antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody (ANCA)-associated systemic vasculitis but can involve aortic and mitral valves. We present an unusual case of a 65-year-old woman who presented 16 years after an aortic valve replacement with severe mitral regurgitation with ACNA-associated vasculitis. The extensive nature of the pathologic condition, which extended to the tricuspid valve, prevented the replacement of the mitral valve during a surgical procedure. This is a rare case in which florid valvulopathy was observed in association with vasculitis.
