	abstract = {Hyperbilirubinemia is a known risk factor in patients undergoing open heart operations. Infective endocarditis often leads to valvular injury, such as rupture of chordae tendineae or leaflet perforation, which can cause acute heart failure in association with pulmonary hypertension and liver dysfunction. Here we present a patient with massive liver congestion, reflected by extreme hyperbilirubinemia, secondary to acute heart failure following mitral valve endocarditis that was successfully treated by emergency mitral and tricuspid valve repair.},
