Among 3127 episodes of suspected infective endocarditis, the 2023 Duke-International Society for Cardiovascular Infectious Diseases clinical criteria showed an accuracy of 90% for infective endocarditis diagnosis. A new heart murmur was present in 690 (22%) episodes. Excluding imaging and surgical findings decreased the accuracy to 73%, while using the physical examination criterion slightly improved the accuracy to 78%.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
The Y-incision aortic annular enlargement (AAE) has been established as a safe and effective technique for upsizing the aortic annulus by 3 to 4 valve sizes. However, concerns have been raised regarding its technical complexity during reoperations, particularly given the extensive enlargement of the aortic annulus and root. We present a case of reoperative aortic valve replacement after previous Y-incision AAE for prosthetic valve endocarditis and aortic root abscess.
