Bacterial endocarditis: a rare complication following orthotopic cardiac transplantation.

We describe a 46-year-old man who developed infective endocarditis, meningitis, sternal abscess, and infective cerebral emboli after cardiac transplantation. Staphylococcus aureus was the infective organism. We successfully managed the patient with flucloxacillin and fusidic acid to treat infection, and with prostacyclin for systemic embolization.

Primary left atrial fibrosarcoma.

An elderly female with refractory cardiovascular symptoms due to functional mitral stenosis secondary to a primary left atrial fibrosarcoma is described. The symptoms are often nonspecific and most of the patients present first time with hemodynamic compromise. A high index of suspicion is essential for the early diagnosis of these highly malignant cardiac tumors because of their rarity, a wide spectrum of nonspecific symptoms and poor survival.
