Culture‐Negative Infective Endocarditis due to Neisseria bacilliformis: A Rare Case With Multisystem Embolization and Diagnostic Utility of Microbial Cell‐Free DNA Testing

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2026.
Neisseria bacilliformis, a rare cause of culture‐negative infective endocarditis, led to multisystem embolization (spleen, kidney, brain, lung) in a 79‐year‐old woman. Plasma microbial cell‐free DNA testing enabled definitive diagnosis and successful targeted therapy.

Surgical Versus Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients Aged >60 Years With Bicuspid Valve Stenosis: A Time‐to‐Event Data Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background The role of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in bicuspid aortic valve stenosis requires further evaluation, particularly as its use has become comparable to surgical aortic valve replacement. We sought to compare midterm outcomes

Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease: Classifications, Treatments, and Emerging Transcatheter Paradigms

Structural Heart
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is a common congenital valvular malformation, which may lead to early aortic valve disease and bicuspid-associated aortopathy. A novel BAV classification system was recently proposed to coincide with transcatheter aortic valve
