Introduction And Objectives: Left-sided native valve infective endocarditis (LNVIE) epidemiology has been modified as a result of the increase in average age. The aim of our study is to analyze the influence of age and the presence of predisposing heart disease in the prognosis of these patients.
Methods: We analyzed a series of 257 cases of LNVIE depending on their age (greater than or equal to 70 years old), both in the overall series and in the subgroup of patients without predisposing heart disease.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the strut coverage patterns of everolimus-eluting stents (EES) and first-generation drug-eluting stents (DES) using optical coherence tomography (OCT) after more than 12 months of implantation.
- The analysis included 66 stents from 40 patients, revealing that EES had significantly better tissue coverage and lower rates of uncovered and malapposed struts compared to first-generation DES.
- The findings suggest that EES demonstrate superior late strut coverage patterns, which might contribute to better clinical outcomes than first-generation DES.
