Mechanical cardiac valve implantation was performed in 3 patients with infective endocarditis, sepsis, chronical renal insufficiency of terminal stage, to whom the programmed dialysis was conducted. The operation was performed for vital indications. All the patients after the operation are alive, their treatment was continued, using programmed hemodialysis, effect of operation is good. The success of treatment of infective endocarditis in patients with chronical renal insufficiency of terminal stage depends on timely radical elimination of the infection foci in endocardium, the intracardial and systemic hemodynamics normalization, application of etiotropic antibacterial therapy, an adequate programmed hemodialysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the performance of the Duke clinical criteria of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC; 2015 and 2023 versions) and the 2023 International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases (ISCVID) in diagnosing infective endocarditis (IE) among patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by pathogens introduced for the first time as typical microorganisms by ISCVID.
Methods: Retrospective study.
Setting: This study included adult patients with bacteraemia/candidaemia by such pathogens (coagulase negative staphylococci, Abiotrophia spp.

Background: Infective endocarditis is characterized by the colonization of heart valves by virulent microorganisms. It commonly manifests as involvement of a single heart valve -single-valve infective endocarditis (SIE), while in some patients, two or more heart valves are concomitantly infected -multivalvular infective endocarditis (MIE). The risk of complications and prognosis of MIE as opposed to SIE are unknown.

() is a bacterium usually present in the gut microbiome of quadruped mammals. is not considered pathogenic for humans; however, several reports have identified it as the etiological agent in cases of chorioamnionitis, postpartum pneumonia and fever of unknown origin. Furthermore, it has been isolated in samples from patients with endocarditis both with and without heart valve replacement.

Infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIAs) are rare lesions with fragile arterial walls located within the aneurysms, carrying a high risk of rupture. Standard management often involves antibiotic therapy and parent artery occlusion; however, the latter carries a significant risk of cerebral infarction. This report presents a case of an unruptured IIA following cerebral infarction, successfully treated with coil embolization while preserving the parent artery.
