Aim: This study examined the role of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), an inflammatory biomarker, in predicting the severity of calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) in a Chinese case–control study. Results: The LMR significantly decreased in the patients with CAVS compared with healthy controls. An inverse correlation was observed between the severity of stenosis and LMR in the patients. Additionally, the LMR was identified in the multivariate analysis as an independent predictor of severe CAVS. Conclusion: This study provides evidence of an inverse correlation between the severity of CAVS and LMR. LMR could potentially be applied as an independent predictor of severe CAVS and could be incorporated into a novel predictive model.

Abstract Background A substantial proportion of infective endocarditis (IE) cases are complicated by local invasion. The purpose of this study was to identify patient and disease characteristics that increase the odds of local invasion in surgically treated IE patients. Methods This was a nested case-control study. All episodes of IE for patients admitted to Cleveland Clinic from January 1st, 2013 – June 30th, 2016 were identified from the Cleveland Clinic IE Registry. Patients >18 years of age who underwent surgery for IE were included. Data was compiled by manual review of the Electronic Medical Record. Local invasion, defined as peri-annular extension, peri-valvular abscess, intra-cardiac fistula or pseudoaneurysm, was ascertained from the surgical operative note. Associations of selected factors with local invasion were examined in a multivariable logistic regression model. Results Among 510 patients who met inclusion criteria, 206 had local invasion. Mean age was 56 years and 369 (72 %) were male. Overall 344 (67 %) had aortic valve, 228 (45%) mitral valve, and 66 (13%) tricuspid or pulmonic valve involvement. Aortic valve involvement (OR 5.76, 95% CI 3.44 – 9.98), mechanical valve (OR 7.63, 95% CI 3.63 – 17.07), bioprosthetic valve (OR 3.20, 95% CI 1.99 – 5.19), significant paravalvular leak (OR 2.27, 95% CI 1.09 – 4.97), new atrioventricular nodal block (OR 3.05, 95% CI 1.57 – 6.09), Staphylococcus aureus infection (OR 2.11, 95% CI 1.20 – 3.76), coagulase negative staphylococcal infection (OR 2.38, 95% CI1.27 – 4.54), and non- viridans group streptococcal infection (OR 4.21, 95% CI 1.81 – 10.06) were significantly associated with local invasion. Conclusion Intra-cardiac and microorganism factors, but not comorbid conditions, are associated with local invasion in IE. Disclosures All Authors: No reported disclosures

Introduction: Aortic valve stenosis is the most frequent cardiac valve pathology in the western world. In high-risk patients, conventional aortic valve replacement (C-AVR) carries high rates of morbidity and mortality. In the last few years, rapid-deployment valves (RDV) have been developed to reduce the surgical risks. In this work, we aimed to compare the mid-term outcomes of rapid-deployment AVR (RD-AVR) with those of the C-AVR in high-risk patients. Methods: This retrospective case-control study identified 23 high-risk patients who underwent RD-AVR between 12/2015 to 01/2018. The study group was compared with a control group of 46 patients who were retrospectively selected from a database of 687 C-AVR patients from 2016 to 2017 which matched with the study group for age and Euro SCORE II. Results: RD-AVR group presented more cardiovascular risk factors. Euro SCORE II was higher in the RD-AVR group (P=0.06). In the RD-AVR group, we observed significantly higher mean prosthetic size (P<0.001). In-hospital mortality was zero in RD-AVR group versus 2 deaths in C-AVR group. Hospital stay was longer in the RD-AVR group with statistical significance (P=0.03). In the group AVR with associated cardiac procedures, while comparing subgroups RD-AVR versus C-AVR, early mean gradient was lower in the first cited (P=0.02). The overall mean follow-up was 10.9 ± 4.3 months. Conclusion: The RD-AVR technique is reliable and lead to positive outcomes. This procedure provides a much larger size with certainly better flow through the aortic root. It is an alternative to C-AVR in patients recognized to be surgically fragile.
