Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe condition associated with high morbidity and mortality, particularly in resource-limited settings where access to timely medical and surgical management is often hindered. The development of complications such as systemic embolism further worsens the prognosis and complicates clinical management. We present the case of a 32-year-old male patient admitted for infective endocarditis complicated by severe aortic insufficiency and acute ischemia of the left lower limb during hospitalization, secondary to delayed surgical intervention. Despite multiple obstacles to care, including diagnostic delays and surgical inaccessibility, the patient experienced favorable clinical evolution. This case highlights the critical importance of early surgical intervention in IE and advocates for the development of alternative management pathways in low-resource healthcare settings to avoid devastating complications.
