We present a rare case of Takayasu arteritis and severe heart lesion due to the myxomatous degeneration of the aortic and mitral valve cusps associated with the development of infectious endocarditis (IE) complicated by abscess, fistula, valve perforation and recurrent acute decompensated heart failure in a young female patient. A combined use of histopathological and PCR analyses of valve tissues was critically important for differential diagnosis of the valve lesions, as it made it possible to identify the true cause of the structural cardiopathy associated with myxomatous degeneration and a prior IE. The presence of Takayasu arteritis has played an indirect though apparently decisive role by creating conditions for the development of immunosuppression and determining the disease severity and progression rate.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Поражение аортального клапана является частой патологией, однако причины могут быть крайне разнообразными и представленными от дегенеративных, врожденных и инфекционных заболеваний до аутоиммунной патологии. Представлено редкое наблюдение молодой пациентки с артериитом Такаясу и тяжелым поражением сердца вследствие миксоматозной дегенерации створок аортального и митрального клапанов с развитием инфекционного эндокардита (ИЭ), осложненного абсцессом, фистулой, перфорацией клапанов и рецидивирующей острой декомпенсацией сердечной недостаточности. Комплексное патогистологическое и ПЦР-исследование тканей клапанов имело принципиальное значение в дифференциальной диагностике клапанных поражений, позволившее выявить истинную причину развития структурной патологии сердца в рамках миксоматозной дегенерации и перенесенного ИЭ. Наличие артериита Такаясу имело определяющее значение, способствовало развитию иммуносупрессивного состояния и определяло тяжесть и скорость прогрессирования заболевания.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>infectious endocarditis</kwd><kwd>Takayasu arteritis</kwd><kwd>aortic insufficiency</kwd><kwd>PCR-test</kwd><kwd>myxomatous degeneration</kwd><kwd>histopathologic examination</kwd><kwd>Duke criteria</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>инфекционный эндокардит</kwd><kwd>артериит Такаясу</kwd><kwd>аортальная недостаточность</kwd><kwd>ПЦР-исследование</kwd><kwd>миксоматозная дегенерация</kwd><kwd>гистологическое исследование</kwd><kwd>критерии Дюка</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Mekinian A, Néel A, Sibilia J, Cohen P, Connault J, Lambert M.
