Management of Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Ruptured Cerebral Mycotic Aneurysm: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This case highlights multidisciplinary decision‐making and the timing of staged surgical intervention in infective endocarditis complicated by intracranial hemorrhage. Early cardiac surgery following neurosurgical treatment may be considered in carefully selected patients.

Rapidly Progressive Bilateral Infective Endocarditis Involving Prosthetic Material After Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Infective endocarditis after repaired tetralogy of Fallot can rapidly progress when prosthetic material is involved. We report bilateral multivalvular endocarditis undetected by transthoracic echocardiography but identified by transesophageal echocardiography.

Accuracy of data routinely collected by Australian hospitals for identifying infective endocarditis, causative organisms and clinical outcomes: a diagnostic accuracy study

Internal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 1544-1552, September 2026.
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening condition, and the surveillance of the incidence is important for monitoring disease trends. Administrative data routinely collected by hospitals offer a feasible and inexpensive method for surveillance of patients with IE, yet the accuracy of coding of IE, causative organisms and ...

Special Report: 26-Year Durability of a Bioprosthesis Implanted in a 21-Year-Old Patient

The Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeon Reports, 2014
The choice of prosthetic heart valve type is largely dependent upon patient's age at implantation and on what, in his eyes, seems more pertinent: avoidance of complications associated with anticoagulation of mechanical valves or structural valve ...

Infective Endocarditis Diagnosed by Emergency Physicians Using Cardiac POCUS: A Case Series

Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Emergency physicians (EPs) are acquiring ever‐increasing expertise in cardiac point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS). We compiled this case series to demonstrate current practice by EPs diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) using POCUS.

Comparative analysis of ovine and human aortic valve tissue for bioprosthetic valve development using relaxation tests and numerical simulation

Scientific Reports
As the demand for aortic valve prostheses grows, optimizing their mechanical performance and durability is essential. While mechanical valves offer longevity, their need for lifelong anticoagulation limits their use, making bioprosthetic valves a ...

A chronological history of heart valve prostheses to offer perspectives of their limitations

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Prosthetic heart valves (PHV) have been studied for around 70 years. They are the best alternative to save the life of patients with cardiac valve diseases. However, current PHVs may still cause significant disadvantages to patients.

Clinical and Echocardiographic Outcomes After Implantation of the ALLEGRA Transcatheter Valve Using the Fully Repositionable IMPERIA Delivery System: One‐Year Results of the EMPIRE I Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 2, Page 540-547, August 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The EMPIRE I study assessed the early (30 days) safety and efficacy of a new fully repositionable delivery system (IMPERIA) for the commercially available ALLEGRA transcatheter aortic valve in patients with either severe native aortic stenosis or a degenerated surgical bioprosthesis.

Microaxial Flow Pump Support as a Bridge to Transaxillary TAVI‐In‐TAVI in Cardiogenic Shock

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT A 79‐year‐old man presented with cardiogenic shock due to severe degeneration of a prior transcatheter aortic valve. Temporary mechanical circulatory support with a transvalvular microaxial flow pump was initiated, resulting in rapid stabilization.
