Is cerebral angiography indicated in infective endocarditis?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with infective endocarditis may develop intracranial mycotic aneurysms. Whether these patients should undergo cerebral angiography followed by prophylactic surgery if an aneurysm is detected is an unresolved question. METHODS We estimated the probability of survival 12 weeks after the diagnosis of infective endocarditis on the basis of data available in the lit...

PURPOSE To document the response of mycotic aneurysms to antibiotic therapy and correlate these findings with patient outcome. METHODS Clinical findings, CT studies, and serial cerebral angiograms of patients with endocarditis related aneurysms seen over 10 years were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS In 14 patients infective endocarditis was diagnosed. The patients presented with subarachn...
متن کاملHistopathological analysis of the mechanisms of intracranial hemorrhage complicating infective endocarditis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We conducted the present study to elucidate the pathological mechanisms leading to intracranial hemorrhage complicating infective endocarditis. METHODS Neurological, neuroradiological, and histopathological analyses were performed in 16 patients (one surgical and 15 autopsy cases), 12 men and four women 26-68 years of age, who had demonstrated central nervous system com...
متن کاملRuptured mycotic aneurysms: Report and outcomes of two surgically managed patients
BACKGROUND Mycotic aneurysm is a rare potentially life-threatening complication of infective endocarditis (IE). Little data is available on the management and outcomes of ruptured mycotic aneurysms with large intracerebral hematoma. Few cases have been described on the management of mycotic aneurysm in the presence of life-threatening hematoma and mass effect. CASE DESCRIPTION We are presenti...
متن کاملImpact of Routine Cerebral CT Angiography on Treatment Decisions in Infective Endocarditis
BACKGROUND Infective endocarditis (IE) is commonly complicated by cerebral embolization and hemorrhage secondary to intracranial mycotic aneurysms (ICMAs). These complications are associated with poor outcome and may require diagnostic and therapeutic plans to be modified. However, routine screening by brain CT and CT angiography (CTA) is not standard practice. We aimed to study the impact of r...
