AORTIC valveECHOCARDIOGRAPHYBacillus cereus endocarditis is rare. It has been implicated in immunocompromised individuals, especially in intravenous drug users as well as in those with a cardiac prosthesis. The patient was a 31-year-old ex-intravenous drug addict with a past history of st...
The clinical features of endocarditis of the aortic valve in 24 dogs were reviewed. This condition was found most commonly in large-breed, middle-aged male dogs. Evidence of antecedent infection or immunosuppression was usually not historically verified or found at necropsy. However, an association ...

Backgrounds Transcatheter-implanted aortic valve infective endocarditis (TAVI-IE) is difficult to diagnose when relying on the Duke Criteria. Our aim was to assess the additional diagnostic value of F-fluorodeoxyglucose (F-FDG) positron emission/computed tomography (PET/CT) and cardiac computed tomograp...
Aortic valve endocarditis with an aortic root abscess cavity was treated by a modification of the standard technique of aortic homograft implantation in 3 patients. At a mean follow-up of 35 months, all 3 patients were well without reoperation or signs of aortic incompetence. This technique may...
