Outcomes of aortic valve-sparing root replacement with cusp repair in connective tissue disease
CONCLUSION: Remodelling and aortic valve repair showed excellent durability at 5 years, even in connective tissue disorders.PMID:37640626 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2023.07.005

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.

Rheumatic Heart Disease Echocardiogram Screening by Nonexperts: A Review
Rheumatic Heart Disease occurs when heart valves are damaged by Rheumatic Fever. Young First Nations Australians aged between 5 –14 years are at high risk of developing Rheumatic Fever. Complications of Rheumatic Heart Disease include atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, heart failure, and stroke. Early disease detection is essential as Acute Rheumatic Fever is easily treatable if detected early.

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.

Stroke in Patients With Common Noncancerous Gynecologic Diseases: A Multicenter Study in Japan
DISCUSSION: In patients with common noncancerous gynecologic diseases, hypercoagulopathy may play a role in the pathogenesis of ischemic stroke/TIA without CSMs.PMID:37124460 | PMC:PMC10140918 | DOI:10.1212/CPJ.0000000000200165

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...

Stroke and Noninfective Native Valvular Disease
AbstractPurpose of ReviewEmbolic stroke of undetermined source is a challenging clinical entity. While less common than atrial fibrillation and endocarditis, many noninfective heart valve lesions have been associated with stroke and may be considered as culprits for cerebral infarcts when other more common causes are excluded. This review discusses the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of noninfective valvular diseases that are commonly associated with stroke.Recent FindingsCalcific debris from degenerating aortic and mitral valves may embolize to the cerebral vasculature causing small- or large-vessel ischemia...

Thrombocytopenia Following Perceval Sutureless Aortic Valve Replacement in Asian Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Thrombocytopenia was common after Perceval sutureless AVR, although its impact was not significant. Although Perceval sutureless AVR was found to be a safe and effective option, preoperative assessment of potential bleeding should be performed and the Perceval valve should not be used for patients with a high bleeding risk.PMID:36709983 | DOI:10.1253/circj.CJ-22-0587
