We present a novel method for the treatment of right-sided bioprosthetic valve endocarditis with AngioVac debulking followed by percutaneous pulmonic and tricuspid valve replacement for residual transcatheter valve degeneration and right ventricular dysfunction.

Could Pulsed Wave Tissue Doppler Imaging Solve the Diagnostic Dilemma of Right Atrial Masses and Pseudomasses? A Case Series and Literature Review.

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

A 67-year-old man with aortic valve endocarditis presented with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction and was found to have embolic vegetation occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This patient was successfully treated with early aortic valve replacement, extraction of a vegetation embolus, and coronary artery bypass grafting over the site of extraction.

Background: Undergoing an urgent valve surgical procedure to treat patients with tricuspid valve endocarditis carries a high risk of operative morbidity and mortality. Use of a percutaneous vacuum-assisted system to treat tricuspid valve endocarditis is an alternative to surgical procedures.
Methods: This study retrospectively analyzed data from 187 transcatheter vacuum-assisted aspiration procedures performed in 177 patients with tricuspid valve vegetations at 3 different centers between 2017 and April 2022.

The unicuspid unicommisural aortic valve is an uncommon congenital malformation that often manifests as stenosis with or without regurgitation in adults in their third to fifth decades of life. This report characterizes the morphological features of surgically excised unicuspid valves in adults with clinical correlation. Among the surgically excised aortic valves over a period of 10 years, the clinical data and morphological features of unicuspid aortic valves were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- Acute transverse myelitis (ATM) is a serious neurological disorder involving spinal cord inflammation, leading to sensory, motor, and autonomic issues.
- A 29-year-old woman experienced severe lower limb weakness, urinary issues, and sensory loss, with MRI confirming ATM and HCV infection present in her blood.
- The case underscores the need for awareness of ATM as a possible complication of hepatitis C, especially when there is infective endocarditis (IE) involved, as confirmed by blood cultures showing bacteria linked to IE.
