Significant increase in mortality and risk of acute ischemic stroke in infective endocarditis patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to mycotic aneurysms
Infective Endocarditis (IE) patients are known to have a variety of complications with one of the rarest, but serious being cerebral mycotic aneurysm, which can result in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Using the National In-Patient Sample database, we sought to determine the rate of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and outcomes in IE- patients with and without SAH. In total, we identified 82,844  IE-patients from 2010 to 2016, of which 641 had a concurrent diagnosis of SAH. IE patients with SAH had a more complicated course, higher mortality rate (OR 4.65 CI 95% 3.9–5.5, P

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.

A Cryptogenic Stroke Associated With Infective Endocarditis and Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome: Case Report and Literature Review
ConclusionA considerable challenge for physicians is evaluating all the signs suggestive of embolic sources in acute stroke and identifying the primary etiology when there are multiple causes. Early diagnosis and surgical intervention for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) vegetation complicated by acute stroke may yield favorable clinical results.

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.

Antithrombotic Therapy for Stroke Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726331Prevention of ischemic stroke relies on the use of antithrombotic medications comprising antiplatelet agents and anticoagulation. Stroke risk is particularly high in patients with cardiovascular disease. This review will focus on the role of antithrombotic therapies in the context of different types of cardiovascular disease. We will discuss oral antiplatelet medications and both IV and parental anticoagulants. Different kinds of cardiovascular disease contribute to stroke via distinct pathophysiological mechanisms, and the optimal treatment for each varies accordingly. We will explo...

Cerebrovascular Complication and Valve Surgery in Infective Endocarditis
Semin Neurol DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1726327Infective endocarditis (IE) with neurologic complications is common in patients with active IE. The most common and feared neurological complication of left-sided IE is cerebrovascular, from septic emboli causing ischemic stroke, intracranial hemorrhage (ICH), or an infectious intracranial aneurysm with or without rupture. In patients with cerebrovascular complications, valve replacement surgery is often delayed for concern of further neurological worsening. However, in circumstances when an indication for valve surgery to treat IE is present, the benefits of early surgical treatment...

Endovascular Treatment of Infective Endocarditis-Related Acute Large Vessel Occlusion Stroke
Embolic stroke is a frequent complication of infective endocarditis yet lacks acute treatment as intravenous thrombolysis should be avoided due to high risk of intracerebral hemorrhage. Mechanical thrombectomy for large vessel occlusion may be a promising treatment but there is limited data on safety outcomes in infective endocarditis.

A 56-Year-Old Woman with Recurrent Strokes: A Clear Case with a Therapeutic Dilemma
A 56-year-old woman with a history of cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) complicated by prior intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) was evaluated for an asymptomatic ischemic stroke discovered on screening brain MRI. On echocardiogram, she was found to have a mass on her mitral valve and strongly positive antiphospholipid antibodies. She was diagnosed with nonbacterial thrombotic (Libman-Sacks) endocarditis associated with the primary antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The treatment decision was complicated by the history of CAA with ICH within the last year with very high risk for bleeding complications if on anticoagulation. A mult...
