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