Staphylococcus lugdunensis: a rare but destructive cause of coagulase-negative staphylococcus infective endocarditis.

Sabe MA, Shrestha NK, Gordon S, Menon V.Author information Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, USA.AbstractBACKGROUND: Staphylococcus lugdunensis is a coagulase-negative organism that causes a rare but destructive form of infective endocarditis (IE). We sought to evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic profile of S. lugdunensis IE at our institution and compare it to that of Staphylococcus aureus IE.

TandemHeart placement for cardiogenic shock in acute severe mitral regurgitation and right ventricular failure.

Hira RS, Thamwiwat A, Kar B.Author information Division of Cardiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas.AbstractWe report a case of a patient with severe mitral regurgitation (MR) due to infective endocarditis with preserved left ventricular systolic function complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction, and cardiogenic shock. He was evaluated by cardiothoracic surgery for mitral valve replacement (MVR). It appeared that the high pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) had been chronic with acute worsening, thus raising concerns that it may not promptly reverse after MVR, putting him at high risk for postoperative RV failure and increasing the risk of mortality. A TandemHeart (TH) percutaneous ventricular assist device (pVAD) was placed with improvement in hemodynamics following which MVR was done. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the preoperative use of the TH pVAD in severe acute MR for hemodynamic stabilization in preparation for MVR. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections in left ventricular assist device recipients.

Riaz T, Nienaber JJ, Baddour LM, Walker RC, Park SJ, Sohail MR.Author information Division of Infectious Diseases.AbstractBACKGROUND: Most patients with left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) have concomitant cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). However, clinical presentation and outcome of CIED infection in the setting of LVAD has not been previously described.
