Excess Re-intervention with Mitroflow Prosthesis for AVR: Ten-year Outcomes of a Randomized Trial
CONCLUSIONS: The Magna valve had the lowest gradients and largest AVAi with larger implant sizes. The Mitroflow bioprosthesis is associated with increased rate of re-intervention and possible increased risk of infection compared to Magna and Epic valves.PMID:36183748 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.09.031

A Cryptogenic Stroke Associated With Infective Endocarditis and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review
ConclusionA considerable challenge for physicians is evaluating all the signs suggestive of embolic sources in acute stroke and identifying the primary etiology when there are multiple causes.

E-136 Morphology of mycotic aneurysms and outcomes
ConclusionPatients with secured mycotic aneurysms are less likely to have in-hospital mortality from postoperative hemorrhage and more likely to have better outcomes upon discharge. This snapshot study warrants further investigation to determine the optimal safe timing between securing IIAs to valvular surgery.Disclosures N. Krothapalli: None. M. Tsikvadze: None. N. Akram: None.

Severe Libman –Sacks endocarditis complicating antiphospholipid syndrome: a retrospective analysis of 23 operated cases
ConclusionSevere HVD leading to surgery was strongly associated with thrombotic APS, especially arterial phenotypes. Half of the reported patients presented cerebral stroke complicating the HVD. Valvular surgery carried a significant risk of CAPS.

Ten-Year Long-Term Analysis of Mechanical and Biological Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSION: After isolated AVR with MP and BP, 10-year long-term outcomes were comparable in the reported single-center cohort. MP can still be implanted safely without a disadvantage as regards long-term survival.PMID:35667381 | DOI:10.1055/s-0042-1744477

Serratia marcescens Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review
We describe a case of a patient that underwent aortic and mitral valve replacement for Streptococcus agalactiae endocarditis. Four months later, he was readmitted with an ischemic stroke and fever. Physical examination and repetitive transthoracic echocardiogram were unremarkable. The initial blood cultures were negative. Due to sustained fever, vancomycin, gentamicin and piperacillin-tazobactam were initiated. On subsequent blood cultures, Serratia marcescens was isolated and antibiotics switched to ertapenem and gentamicin. In addition to cerebral emboli, a splenic embolus was found. The PET/CT revealed an abnormal hyper...
