JACC Case Rep

September 2025
Department of Cardiac Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China. Electronic address:
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) with irreversible structural damage has high mortality despite conventional surgery. Heart transplantation (HTx) remains underused in active IE owing to guideline limitations and historical contraindications.
Case Summary: A 61-year-old man with recurrent prosthetic valve IE (aortic/tricuspid vegetations, perivalvular abscesses, and coronary embolism) developed cardiogenic shock.
CJC Open
August 2025
Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et Pneumologie de Québec (Quebec Heart & Lung Institute), Université Laval, Québec City, Québec, Canada.
Background: Valvular lesions in calcific aortic valve stenosis are sex-specific: female patients reach a similar level of severity as male patients but with less valvular calcification and more valvular fibrosis. We thus aim to assess the transcriptome of stenotic aortic valves according to patients' sex.
Methods: A total of 300 valves were collected, and genomewide gene expression was quantified using a microarray on 240.

A six-week-old Labrador retriever was presented for lethargy and anorexia, revealing a systolic heart murmur. Tricuspid valve dysplasia involving the whole tricuspid valve apparatus and the right ventricular wall was found, and an additional pulmonic stenosis was present. Histopathological examination of the tricuspid and pulmonary leaflets highlighted an unusual myxomatous mesenchymal component, interpreted as being of ontogenetic origin.

Pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (PTE) remains the preferred treatment for surgical accessible thrombus in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). However, residual pulmonary hypertension (PH) can persist post-PTE. A retrospective single-center analysis of patients that underwent PTE between 2013 and 2023.
