Prosthetic Mitral Valve Endocarditis due to Vagococcus fluvialis: A Case Report

Case Reports in Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an uncommon but life‐threatening disease, most frequently caused by Staphylococcus aureus, streptococci, and enterococci. Vagococcus fluvialis is a Gram‐stain positive coccus, phenotypically close to enterococci, and rarely identified in human infections due to diagnostic challenges.

Smaller Bioprosthetic Valves May Be Associated with Worse Clinical Outcomes and Reduced Freedom from Reoperation in sAVR

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease
Background: Surgical bioprosthetic aortic valve replacement is a ubiquitous procedure, with several factors identified in affecting outcomes. We hypothesize that smaller valves may be associated with worse outcomes and decreased freedom from clinical ...

Disseminated Bartonellosis Masquerading as Autoimmune Glomerulonephritis: A Case Report

Case Reports in Nephrology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Although Bartonella henselae is primarily known for causing self‐limiting cat scratch disease in immunocompetent individuals, it can also lead to severe disseminated infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Case Presentation We present a rare case of disseminated B.

Intermediate-term outcomes after aortic valve replacement with a novel RESILIATM tissue bioprosthesis.

Journal of Thoracic Disease, 2019
Background The durability of bioprosthetic heart valves is limited by structural valve deterioration (SVD) due to long-term calcification. A novel bioprosthetic tissue (RESILIATM) has been developed which, in preclinical studies, has shown reduced ...

Evaluating the Efficacy and Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in Low‐ to Intermediate‐Risk Aortic Regurgitation Patients: A Comprehensive Clinical Comparison

Cardiology Research and Practice, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been established as an alternative to surgery for high‐risk aortic regurgitation (AR) patients. However, its applicability to low‐ and intermediate‐risk populations remains under investigation.

Ventricular Reverse Remodeling After Coronary Artery Bypass, Chordal‐Sparing Mitral Valve Replacement, and Tricuspid Valve Repair

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the long‐term efficacy of a standardized triple procedure—coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), chordal‐sparing mitral valve replacement, and tricuspid annuloplasty—in high‐risk patients with end‐stage ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (IsDCM) for whom heart transplantation was not an option.

Unusual 30-year durability of Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis in tricuspid position

, 2015
Introduction We describe an unusual durability of a Hancock II porcine bioprosthesis in tricuspid position. Sustainability of bioprostheses is known to be limited especially in young patients. Presentation of the case A 52-year old Caucasian woman with a
