Noninfective thrombotic endocarditis
This disorder results in the deposition of fibrin on the valve leaflets on either side of the heart, but especially the left side.
The vegetations are sterile and small (1-5 mm).
There may be a history of valve damage secondary to e.g. rheumatic fever or ischaemia.
