Outcomes of Concomitant Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting in Patients With Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
It is current practice to perform concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with infective endocarditis who have relevant coronary artery disease. However, CABG may add complexity to the operation. We performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis of studies that presented outcomes from patients who underwent valve surgery because of infective endocarditis with or without concomitant CABG. Three databases were assessed. Perioperative mortality was the primary outcome. Long-term mortality and postoperative stroke were the secondary outcomes.

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.

Positive Microbiology of Embolectomy Tissue Leading to Diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis
Infective endocarditis is an uncommon but not rare differential for stroke. This case highlights the importance of microbiological analysis of retrieved embolectomy tissue in the diagnosis of infective endocarditis.

A Case of Infective Endocarditis Caused by Streptococcus sanguinis Resulting in Stroke, Ruptured Infected Pseudoaneurysm of Superior Mesenteric Artery, and Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis
Intern Med. 2023 Jun 21. doi: 10.2169/internalmedicine.2017-23. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA 71-year-old-man was admitted to our hospital with a cerebral embolism and diagnosed with infective endocarditis (IE) caused by Streptococcus sanguinis. Mitral valve replacement was performed. About one month later, he experienced sudden abdominal pain and shock due to a ruptured infected mesenteric artery pseudoaneurysm. Forty-four days after abdominal surgery, he presented with rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies. He was treated with plasma exchange and prednisolone, and his ...

A Rare Cause of Life-Threatening Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
Question: A 66-year-old woman presented to the hospital with large-volume hematemesis and melena. Her past medical history was significant for an episode of native valve infective endocarditis secondary to a skin infection 4 years earlier, with an associated embolic stroke of the left middle cerebral artery. Her daily medications included aspirin and atorvastatin. She denied any intake of other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. She had no history of peptic ulcer disease or liver disease. On arrival to the hospital, the patient ’s blood pressure was 90/60 mm Hg, with a heart rate of 140 beats/min.

Significant increase in mortality and risk of acute ischemic stroke in infective endocarditis patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to mycotic aneurysms
Infective Endocarditis (IE) patients are known to have a variety of complications with one of the rarest, but serious being cerebral mycotic aneurysm, which can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Using the National In-Patient Sample database, we sought to determine the rate of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and outcomes in IE- patients with and without SAH. In total, we identified 82,844 IE-patients from 2010 to 2016, of which 641 had a concurrent diagnosis of SAH. IE patients with SAH had a more complicated course, higher mortality rate (OR 4.65 CI 95% 3.9–5.5, P
