P-MAIVF is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of IE, for which timely diagnosis and prompt appropriate therapeutic intervention are required. In the present case, although neither obvious active IE nor history of previous IE could be identified, healed IE was considered based on the clinical course. The patient had intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) with well-controlled heart failure and underwent elective surgical repair more than one month after the onset of ICH, while the clinical course after the surgical procedure was uneventful.
