Severe Vasospasm of the Middle Cerebral Artery after Mechanical Thrombectomy Due to Infective Endocarditis: An Autopsy Case
We describe a case of middle cerebral artery occlusion due to IE, which caused severe vasospasm and reocclusion after mechanical thrombectomy (MT). We present the pathologic findings of the occluded middle cerebral artery and investigate the precautions to be taken while performing MT due to IE. A 72-year-old man with atrial fibrillation treated with dabigatran presented with right hemiparesis and aphasia.

Severe thrombosis of bioprosthesis mitral valve after dabigatran.
Abstract A 41-year-old female was admitted to our hospital with an unidentified source of fever, dyspnea and dizziness. Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated severe mitral valve regurgitation, and further examination with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) revealed a 7 mm vegetation on the anterior mitral leaflet. Blood cultures were negative, and after 45 days of empiric 12 g/day ampicillin-sulbactam therapy, the vegetation was shown to have disappeared. However, due to ongoing severe mitral regurgitation and valve deformity, a prosthetic metallic mitral valve replacement was performed. After the operat...
