Infectious Causes of Stroke
Stroke is one of the primary causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. It can be ischemic or hemorrhagic, and the former can be due to an in-situ thrombus or a distant embolus. Despite being a rare cause, stroke can also be caused in the setting of infection. Bacterial agents are the most common cause of stroke, among other infectious agents. Until the antibiotic era, rheumatic heart disease was a predisposing risk factor of infective endocarditis. VZV is the most common cause of strokes in pediatric and adult populations.

Fatal Staphylococcus Aureus Endocarditis Misdiagnosed as Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children
We present a case of a 10-year-old male with Staphylococcus aureus mitral endocarditis who was initially misdiagnosed with multisystem inflammatory syndrome associated with coronavirus disease 2019, with eventual fatal outcome due to brain hemorrhage after cardiac intervention. Our case differs from recent studies, in which microbleeds did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke or global mortality risk.

Recurrent Strokes as the First Presentation of Occult Pancreatic Cancer; Trousseau Syndrome: A Case Report
We present a case of a 64-year-old female with recurrent ischemic stroke of unknown cause and involving different arterial territories, who was discovered to have metastatic pancreatic cancer. The initial workup with brain imaging revealed multiple acute/subacute ischemic strokes and a negative cardiac assessment. Accordingly, she underwent a whole-body positron emission tomography-computed tomography which revealed a hypermetabolic mass lesion in the pancreaticoduodenal area. Our case indicates that cancer-associated stroke should be seriously evaluated. It demonstrates the critical nature of contemplating hidden cancer i...

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation versus surgical aortic valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions No overall change in the risk of death from any cause or cardiovascular mortality was identified but 95% CIs were often wide, indicating uncertainty. TAVI may reduce the risk of certain side effects while SAVR may reduce the risk of others. Most long-term (5-year) results are limited to older patients at high surgical risk (ie, early trials), therefore more data are required for low risk populations. Ultimately, neither surgical technique was considered dominant, and these results suggest that every patient with SAS should be individually engaged in SDM to make evidence-based, personalised decisions around thei...

Pass On What You Have Learned: A Structured Mentor-Mentee Concept for the Implementation of a Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery Program
Conclusion: Typically, excellent exposure and high repair rates of the MV has led us offer MICS approach to a majority of patients with isolated MV disease. Careful planning and a strict mentor-mentee concept facilitated a safe startup of an MICS program in a busy university heart center.Eur Surg Res

Cardiac Operations after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
CONCLUSIONS: Cardiac operations after TAVR are increasing and interval between TAVR and operation decreasing. Most cardiac operations are complex, high-risk reoperations and isolated AVR rare. These findings should be considered when TAVR is selected for low-intermediate risk patients, particularly with multiple cardiac pathologies not addressed by TAVR.PMID:34800488 | DOI:10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.10.022

Longer ‐term outcomes after bicuspid aortic valve repair in 142 patients
ConclusionsIsolated BAV repair and combined aortic valve reimplantation plus BAV repair provide good clinical longer-term outcomes with relatively low reoperation rate and durable valve function.

Non ‐bacterial thrombotic endocarditis with cryptogenic stroke
Negative blood culture and pathological findings are helpful to diagnose non-bacterial thrombotic endocarditis. The treatment strategy, including lifelong anticoagulation or surgery, should be individualized based on patients' underlying diseases.

Medical malpractice in aortic valve and mitral valve replacement surgery in North America
CONCLUSIONS: In addition to excellent surgeon patient/family communication, administering surgical treatment in a timely manner, diagnosing and acting on concomitant medical conditions, and close patient monitoring may diminish medical malpractice litigation involving aortic and mitral valve replacement operations.PMID:34338496 | DOI:10.23736/S0021-9509.21.11945-7
