Article Synopsis
- Subaortic stenosis (SubAS) can remain undiagnosed until pregnancy, where the hemodynamic changes may reveal severe symptoms, necessitating urgent treatment.
- A case study presents a 34-year-old pregnant woman who underwent surgery after being admitted for severe SubAS, successfully delivering a healthy baby at 39 weeks post-surgery.
- Managing heart conditions like SubAS during pregnancy poses risks, but with careful planning and teamwork among healthcare providers, successful outcomes can be achieved.
Changing trends in clinical characteristics and in-hospital mortality of patients with infective endocarditis over four decades.

April 2024
Background: Infective endocarditis continues to be a significant concern and may be undergoing an epidemiological transition.
Methods: Were studied 1804 consecutive episodes of infective endocarditis between 1978 and 2022. The mean age was 48 ( ± 19), and 1162 (64%) patients were male.
This study aimed to evaluate the incidence and clinical implications of myocardial injury, as determined by cardiac biomarker increase, in patients who underwent mitral bioprosthesis dysfunction treatment with transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) versus surgical mitral valve replacement reoperation (SMVR-REDO). Between 2014 and 2023, 310 patients with mitral bioprosthesis failure were included (90 and 220 patients for TMVR and SMVR-REDO, respectively). Multivariable analysis and propensity score matching were performed to adjust for the intergroup differences in baseline characteristics.

Methods: The BIOPRO Trial is an observational, retrospective, non-comparative, non-randomized, and multicenter study. We collected data from 903 patients with symptomatic, moderate, or severe valve disease who underwent BVP implants in the timeframe from 2013 to 2020 at three Brazilian institutions.
Non-contrast transcatheter aortic valve implantation for patients with aortic stenosis and chronic kidney disease: a pilot study.
Front Cardiovasc Med
June 2023
Background: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is frequently observed after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Of note, it is associated with a threefold increase in all-cause and cardiac death. We propose a new non-contrast strategy for evaluating and performing the TAVI procedure that can be especially valuable for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) to prevent AKI.
