O-065 Multicenter investigation into presentation, management and outcome of infectious intracranial aneurysms
ConclusionPatients with IIAs are at high risk of aneurysm rupture or re-hemorrhage despite treatment with antibiotics. Antibiotic failure occurred in 43% of medically treated patients, and failure was associated with 6 times higher odds of mortality in 1 year.Disclosures A. Alawieh: None. L. Dimisko: None. Y.

Intracranial Hemorrhage as a Marker for Mycotic Aneurysm in Patients With Infective Endocarditis
Discussion Patients with left-sided and right-sided endocarditis with PFO and ICH on CNS imaging were more likely to have mycotic aneurysms detected through DSA than similar patients without ICH. Routine DSA screening for mycotic aneurysms may not be required in patients with endocarditis undergoing evaluation for valve surgery who present without ICH on CNS imaging.

Low NIHSS score large vessel occlusion caused by infective endocarditis treated with thrombectomy
A 24-year-old woman had undergone dental treatment 3 weeks before and had a mild fever for a week. She presented to the emergency department with the chief complaint of weakness in the right upper limb after waking up. She had mild paralysis of the right upper limb (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale [NIHSS] score 1). Head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed scattered infarcts in the left frontal and parietal lobes and left internal cerebral artery (ICA) occlusion (Fig. 1A, B). Cerebral angiography showed that the left ICA was occluded immediately after its origin (Fig.

Invasive Coronary Angiography in Patients with Native or Prosthetic Aortic Valve Endocarditis
CONCLUSION: Taking a multidisciplinary team approach, ICA is safe in selected patients with aortic valve infectious endocarditis with no adverse clinical outcomes, but significant clinical implications.PMID:36257543 | DOI:10.1055/s-0042-1757600
