Human infection with Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae is extremely rare and occupationally related. This paper presents for the first time a case of a 47 year-old male with endocarditis involving three valves simultaneously.

We present a rare case of fungal (Candida albicans) endocarditis on the two (mitral and aortic) biological prosthetic valves. Vegetations were detected by transthoracic echocardiography and confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography.

We present a case of a 70 year-old woman operated due to severe mitral regurgitation. Early after surgery transthoracic echocardiography revealed the decreased effective orifice area of the implanted bioprosthetic valve and the stenotic features of transvalvular flow. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) disclosed a thrombotic cause of heterograft dysfunction. Due to the clinical deterioration and the unclear cause of prosthesis stenosis, the patient was reoperated. Intra-operatively bioprosthetic mitral valve thrombosis was confirmed. Precipitating factors of this rare complication including cardiac device related infective endocarditis (CDRIE) and the diagnostic applicability of TEE in this clinical scenario are discussed.

We describe a case of a 30 year-old female with implantable cardioverter-defibrillator. One and a half year later the patient suffered from endocarditis und undevent surgery. The factor V Leiden mutation was diagnosed. Diagnosis and treatment of device-related interactive complications is discussed.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disorder resulting in multiorgan inflammatory damage. The heart is frequently involved in SLE. The best known cardiac manifestations are pericarditis and Libman-Saks endocarditis. Severe valvular impairment is rather rare and occurs in few years and in advanced stage of the disease. In this study we report a case of a young women with SLE and heart failure due to mitral regurgitation as the first manifestation of the disease.

We report the case of 42-year-old male, who developed infective endocarditis on bicuspid aortic valve due to infection of the central line with Staphylococcus aureus MSSA. The patient was hospitalised several times in district hospitals because of worsening of heart failure. He had a few transthoracic (TTE) and one transesophageal (TEE) echocardiography which did not reveal early stages of perivalvular abscess and was disqualified from surgical procedures due to bad left ventricular systolic function. The second TEE done a month after the first one showed an abscess with perforation to the right ventricle. The patient died disqualified again from surgical procedure due to multiorgan failure.

Despite the progress made in diagnosis and treatment of heart valve diseases, the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) remains constant. It is still associated with high mortality and high rate of embolic complications, including most dangerous one, i.e. stroke. It has a significant impact on further treatment and qualifications for cardiac surgery. In this paper, the authors discuss the epidemiology, mechanisms of stroke and its impact on the qualifications for cardiac surgery. The authors discuss the problem of clinically silent central nervous system embolism in the course of IE and the usefulness of neuroimaging and markers of central nervous system damage in diagnosis of cerebral embolism.

We present a case of 70-year old male after coronary by-pass surgery and mitral bioprosthesis implantation due to infective endocarditis, with continuous atrial fibrillation, who was admitted to the hospital due to the worsening of the heart failure. He was on oral antivitamine K agents with therapeutic value of INR. On echocardiography we found enlargement of all cavities with extremely big left atrium (9.5 cm) and poor contractile left ventricular function (EF 25%). An enormously big old thrombus was found in the left atrium. The patient was disqualified from surgical treatment. Treatment with unfractionated heparin was unsuccessful. We discuss if standard antithrombotic treatment is always sufficient in such unusual cases.

We report a case of a 55 year-old female with chronic renal failure who received routine haemodialysis and suffered from acute myocardial infarction of inferior wall. Based on coronary angiogram, transoesophageal echocardiography, and autopsy,coronary embolisation with vegetations in the course of infective endocarditis was identified as a rare cause of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

We present two cases of diagnostics and treatment difficulties developing after pacemaker implantation. Lead dependent infective endocarditis in the aftermath of mechanical complications was observed in both cases.
