Infective endocarditis without biological inflammatory syndrome: Description of a particular entity.
CONCLUSIONS: Left-sided valvular IE with limited or no biological syndrome is rare, but is often associated with severe valvular and paravalvular lesions. TOE should be performed in presence of unexplained heart failure, new valvular regurgitation or cardioembolic stroke when TTE is insufficient to rule out endocarditis, even in patients with a low CRP concentration.

Reply: Septic cerebral emboli as a risk factor for thrombolysis-related haemorrhagic transformation
We appreciate the opportunity to respond to Dr. Jolobe ’s letter titled ‘Septic cerebral emboli as a risk factor for thrombolysis-related hemorrhagic transformation’. Dr. Jolobe made a nice comment on our article titled ‘Risk factors of hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis with rt-PA in acute cerebral infarction’.1 We agree that septic cerebral emboli was a risk factor for thrombolysis-related hemorrhagic transformation as demonstrated in an early study.2 In fact, it was based on this early study and the following studies that intravenous thrombolysis is not recommended for patients with acut...

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.

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]

Epidemiological and microbiological characteristics and complications of infective endocarditis in children
ConclusionIn our study, IE in child has various characteristics compared to IE in adult. IE complication increases the risk of death.

Minimally ‐invasive parasternal aortic valve replacement–A slow learning curve towards improved outcomes
ConclusionsParasternal minimally ‐invasive aortic valve replacement is a feasible technique associated with a slow learning curve but the potential to achieve improved outcomes. Considering the transcatheter alternatives, the relative risk reduction may be worth investigating in future trials.

Baseline frailty status and outcomes important for shared decision-making in older adults receiving transcatheter aortic valve implantation, a prospective observational study.
CONCLUSIONS: TAVI patients had improvement in symptoms and maintenance of activity of daily living at 6 months. They had low mortality and most patients lived in their own home 2 years after TAVI. Complications like death, stroke, and endocarditis occurred. Some patients had cognitive impairment before the procedure which might influence decision-making. Our findings may be used to develop pre-TAVI decision aids. PMID: 32193850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Efficacy of primary surgical versus medical intervention for treatment of left-sided infective endocarditis.
CONCLUSIONS: Compared with medical management, valve replacement surgery in patients with left-sided SA, SC, or EC IE appears to confer a survival advantage at 30 days and 1 year. PMID: 32315643 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Anticipating the management of Streptococcus agalactiae infective endocarditis
A patient who presented after falling out of bed had signs of right-sided stroke, which, after imaging, was suspicious for embolism with cardiac origin. Further investigation revealed a large aortic valve vegetation with mild aortic insufficiency, and the patient eventually developed heart failure requiring surgical intervention. Infective endocarditis is slowly becoming more prevalent, and clinicians should have a high index of suspicion when patients present with common complications of this disease, such as valvular dysfunction, heart failure, or stroke. Early diagnosis has been shown to reduce time to appropriate antib...

Cardiac and Pulmonary Disorders and the Nervous System
This article reviews the neurologic complications encountered with cardiac and pulmonary disorders, specifically focusing on endocarditis, cardiac arrest, heart failure, hypercapnia, hypoxia, and cystic fibrosis. As neurologic dysfunction is one of the most frequent complications of these diseases and may even be the presenting symptom, it is important to be familiar with these complications to foster early recognition and intervention. RECENT FINDINGS Advances have been made in the identification of which patients can safely undergo valvular surgery for treatment of infective endocarditis in the setting of stroke, whic...

Perceval sutureless aortic valve implantation: mid-term outcomes.
CONCLUSIONS: After more than 11 years of continued clinical use of the Perceval sutureless valve, we observe low mortality and stroke rates, with good hemodynamic behaviour of the valve. None of our patients was reoperated for SVD. Because of the key benefits of this rapid-deployment valve, it has an added value in surgical aortic valve replacement.

Long-Term Clinical Outcome and Prognosis After Thrombectomy in Patients With Concomitant Malignancy
Endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) is the preferred treatment strategy for patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). However, clinical outcome and prognosis in patients who undergo EVT in response to AIS with concomitant malignancy have not been fully elucidated. Data of patients with malignancy who underwent EVT at participating institutions between January 2015 and April 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patient characteristics, treatment methods, posttreatment strategy, and long-term prognosis were evaluated in 12 patients with prediagnoses of malignancy. Good revascularization (TICI 2b or higher) was achieved in 10 of ...

Clinical outcomes in patients with native valve infective endocarditis and diabetes mellitus.
CONCLUSION: There is an increasing prevalence of DM in NVIE and it is associated with poorer outcomes. Further studies are crucial to identify the clinical, and sociodemographic contributors to this trend and develop strategies to mitigate its attendant risk. PMID: 33552399 [PubMed]
