ABSTRACT Severe aortic stenosis (AS) carries a poor prognosis when symptomatic, particularly in cardiogenic shock (CS). Emergency transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is rarely performed but may represent a rescue therapy. Coexistent carotid artery stenosis (CAS) further increases procedural risk.

Recurrent infective endocarditis causing heart valve failure: A case report
Infective endocarditis (IE) is an infection that does not usually respond rapidly to treatment, often because its early symptoms are non-specific. The diseased valves (native or bioprosthetic) may be calcified and the thrombotic vegetations on them ...

A Case of Acute Massive Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Thrombosis Leading to Fulminant Heart Failure
Bioprosthetic valve thrombosis has been considered to be extremely unlikely, typically freeing patients from the potential complications of long-term anticoagulation. However, there have been several documented cases of bioprosthetic valve thrombosis and

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.

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.

ABSTRACT Hypo‐attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) is an important and potentially underrecognized cause of late bioprosthetic valve dysfunction after surgical AVR. Multimodal imaging, including echocardiography and electrocardiogram‐gated computed tomography, is essential for diagnosis, and timely surgical or medical intervention can effectively ...

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 ...
