Conclusion
We present a rare case of severe nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis
affecting the tricuspid valve. Unfortunately, the patient developed
severe tricuspid insufficiency in a noticeably short period despite
ongoing non-surgical treatment. We want to highlight the unusual and
incidental detection of the NTBE in our case by bedside ultrasound on a
non-cardiological ward. Our case might emphasize that basic
echocardiography even when done in a bedside, point-of care setting
without following a formal protocol, can provide insights that help to
improve patient management.
