Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis primarily affects debilitated patients, hence its old categorization as “marantic.” Resembling the lesions of infective endocarditis, these nodules are composed of sterile thrombi. This mitral valve shows a linear array of tiny vegetations (arrows) along the edges of the leaflets, with no evidence of leaflet destruction.
