Three weeks after hormone therapy initiation, the patient developed exertional dyspnoea that progressively worsened and ultimately led to orthopnoea. Chest radiography revealed pulmonary congestion, and transthoracic echocardiography revealed mitral stenosis that was not present three months previously. The patient progressed to heart failure, and bicuspid valve replacement was performed. The excised aortic and mitral bioprosthetic valves were covered with vegetations, and pathological examination confirmed the presence of C. acnes. Therefore, the cause of mitral stenosis was infective endocarditis.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n
