The patient was treated with multiple anti-inflammatory drugs and high-dose prednisone. After the fifth MVR, the patient remained in stable condition using Anakinra after 22 months of follow-up. ( Level of Difficulty: Advanced. ).<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2021 Published by Elsevier on behalf of the American College of Cardiology Foundation.)
