Mitral valve prosthesis choice in patients < 70 years: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis of 20 219 patients
ConclusionMechanical MVR in patients aged less than 70 years is associated with a lower risk of operative mortality as well as a 20% lower risk of long ‐term death and 65% lower risk of mitral valve reoperation but 60% greater risk of bleeding compared with bioMVR in matched or adjusted data.

Left-sided infective endocarditis in persons who inject drugs
ConclusionsLSIE in PWID is not uncommon. Compared to non-LSIE in PWID, valve surgery is more common and mortality is higher. For reasons that are unclear, stroke is more frequent in LSIE in PWID than in non-PWID with LSIE but mortality is no different.

Factors Affecting Mortality in Patients with Blood-Culture Negative Infective Endocarditis
Int J Angiol DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-3402744Infective endocarditis retains high morbidity and mortality rates despite recent advances in diagnostics, pharmacotherapy, and surgical intervention. Risk stratification in endocarditis patients, including blood-culture negative endocarditis, is crucial in deciding the optimal management strategy; however, the studies investigating risk stratification in these patients were lacking despite the difference with blood-culture positive endocarditis. The aim of this study is to identify risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality in blood-culture negative infective endocarditis pat...

Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment in Infective Endocarditis: Systematic Review
Background: Ischemic stroke is a frequent neurologic complication of infective endocarditis. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thrombectomy in comparison to thrombolysis and to combined treatment in patients with infective endocarditis associated acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. The review included case reports, cases series, cross-sectional studies, case control studies, randomized controlled trials or nonrandomized controlled trials, which reported the treat...

Double-Valve Heart Disease and Glomerulonephritis Consequent to Abiotrophia defectiva Endocarditis.
We present the first case of A. defectiva infective endocarditis that led to antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated glomerulonephritis. The patient was a 55-year-old man whose endocarditis affected the mitral and aortic valves. His course was complicated by atrial fibrillation, stroke, and glomerulonephritis. He was successfully treated with antibiotics and dual valve replacement. PMID: 32148451 [PubMed - in process]

Infective endocarditis: trends, surgical outcomes, and controversies.
Authors: Jamil M, Sultan I, Gleason TG, Navid F, Fallert MA, Suffoletto MS, Kilic A Abstract The number of hospitalizations and surgical cases of infective endocarditis (IE) are increasing. The aim of this study was to review these trends, surgical outcomes, and controversies related to IE. A search of MEDLINE of studies published between 1960 and 2018 was conducted. Search terms included "infective endocarditis", "history of", "trend", "epidemiology", "outcome", "medical management", "surgery", "indication", and "re-operative surgery", or any combination thereof. The United States has the highest incidence of IE i...

A Case of Fabry Disease Presenting with Young Stroke and Fever.
Authors: Wu LC, Chiang CT, Lee KF Abstract Although it is known that Fabry disease should be included in the differential diagnosis of young stroke and fever of unknown origin, it has not been reported in the literature of stroke with fever as the presentation of Fabry disease. This is relevant because stroke with fever may misguide the differential diagnosis. Here we present a young stroke patient with fever. DWI of brain MRI revealed acute multiple infarctions. Due to the fever, infectious and inflammatory origins such as infective endocarditis and autoimmune diseases were examined first. However, we could not id...

Mid-term single-centre outcomes of BioIntegral compared to Freestyle aortic conduit implantation.
CONCLUSIONS: FS and BI provide comparable clinical midterm results and hemodynamic parameters. Simplified implantation technique providing shorter cardiopulmonary bypass and operation times are advantageous for BI. PMID: 31815376 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Coronary angiography in the setting of acute infective endocarditis requiring surgical treatment.
CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative coronary angiography in patients affected by infective endocarditis provides relevant information in a significant proportion of patients and can be performed safely. PMID: 31734140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Short and long-term outcomes of medically treated isolated left-sided endocarditis: a retrospective study with 5-year longitudinal follow-up
ConclusionNon-operative management of LSIE carries a poor prognosis but may have a role in select cases. Surgical management remains the mainstay for patients with clear surgical indications, including severe regurgitation and PVE. Further prospective analyses are required to better delineate appropriate patient selection for non-surgical management.

Long-term Outcomes of Mechanical Vs Biologic Aortic Valve Prosthesis in Patients Older Than 70 Years
ConclusionsMechanical aortic valve prosthesis is associated with worse long-term survival and increased bleeding after SAVR in patients more than 70 years old. The study results suggest caution when considering mechanical aortic valve prostheses in elderly patients.

A Blood Filter Fights Deadly Inflammatory Response
A new blood filtration technology may prove to be life-saving for patients whose normally healthy inflammatory response to injury or illness has gone into overdrive, resulting in fatally high levels of cytokines in their blood. In an interview with MD+DI, Dr. Phillip Chan, MD, PhD, CEO of CytoSorbents Corp., explained that inflammation, and the production of substances called cytokines that drive inflammation, are the body’s natural response to heal injury or infection. But sometimes, the inflammatory response is so severe in such conditions as sepsis and infection, burn injuries, trauma, pancreatitis, li...
