Population-based assessment of cardiovascular complications of rheumatic heart disease in Fiji: a record-linkage analysis
Conclusions Our study defines the burden of RHD-attributable morbidity in the general population of Fiji, potentially reflecting the situation in low-income and middle-income countries worldwide. Hospitalisation for an RHD complication is associated with markedly increased risk of death, re-emphasising the importance of effective early prevention.

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Valve Infective Endocarditis: A Systematic Review and Call for Action
AbstractWe aimed to systematically analyze the literature on the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to treat active aortic valve infective endocarditis (AV-IE). Surgery is declined in one-third of patients with IE who meet indications because of prohibitive surgical risk. TAVR might be an alternative for selected patients with AV-IE as a bridge-to-surgery or stand-alone therapy. PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched (2002 –2022) for studies on TAVR use in active AV-IE. Of 450 identified reports, six met inclusion criteria (all men, mean age 71 ± 12 years, median Society of T...

Adding Fuel to the Fire: Infective Endocarditis and the Challenge of Cerebrovascular Complications
AbstractPurpose of ReviewInfective endocarditis is a deadly disease and made more deadly by neurologic complications. We review the cerebrovascular complications of infective endocarditis and focus our discussion on medical and surgical management.Recent FindingsWhile management of stroke in the setting of infective endocarditis differs from standard stroke treatment, mechanical thrombectomy has proven safe and successful. Optimal timing of cardiac surgery in the setting of stroke remains an area of debate, but additional observational studies continue to add more detail to the discussion.SummaryCerebrovascular complicatio...

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
