AbstractA 78-year-old Japanese man with a 5-day history of fever (∼38°C) and decreased appetite was admitted to our hospital. Transesophageal echocardiography revealed aortic valve vegetation. Streptococcus constellatus was detected from a blood culture. An antibiotic sensitive to this strain was administered for 6 weeks, and the patient has been well for 6 months without any sign of relapse. A review of all documented cases of infective endocarditis due to S. constellatus revealed nonspecific initial symptoms, especially coughing, and complications of abscess formation and septic embolisation. Clinicians should carefully consider the choice of antibiotic agents in the treatment of infective endocarditis due to S. constellatus, because penicillin-resistant strains have been documented in some cases.

Cardiac Damage

Aortic valve regurgitation and saccular aneurysm of the ascending aorta developed in a 5-year-old boy following severe compressive injury to the chest. While rare, traumatic aortic valve disruption may lead to serious cardiac dysfunction. Recognition of acute aortic insufficiency and other forms of cardiac damage requires special attention in patients with nonpenetrating chest injury.

This study presents a case of a successful severed femoral sheath recapture during transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). During skin tunneling with a scalpel, the discontinuity of the femoral sheath occurred. Grasping of the distal sheath with the surgical hemostat was attempted unsuccessfully. A proximal part of the severed sheath was removed and Medtronic Sentrant introducer sheath (14 French) was then placed over the existing Confida wire which permanently remained in position, followed by the introduction of the Amplatz Left 2 (AL2) catheter which pushed the severed sheath in the ascending aorta over the Confida wire. The crucial maneuver was the entanglement of the severed sheath in the aortic non-coronary cusp which allowed for its entrapment by the AL2 catheter. This allowed for the coronary guidewire BMW Universal (0.014”) placement and a slow balloon retrieval (SeQuent NEO 2.5 x 25 mm) of the severed sheath into the introducer sheath. The guidewire/balloon catheter was then exchanged for the support wire (0.035”) followed by the removal of the introducer sheath, AL2 catheter and the severed sheath. In conclusion, sheath severing is a complex accidental event during TAVR, which can be solved by intra-aortic recapture and retraction.

Treatment Regimens

Neurological complications of infective endocarditis are frequent, especially ischaemic strokes. As intravenous thrombolysis in infective endocarditis-related ischaemic stroke has a controversial benefit/risk ratio, alternative treatment regimens have to be considered. We present the case of a young patient with septic embolism of the middle cerebral artery who was successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy, and give a short review of the existing literature.
