Intravenous drug use is a novel predictor of infectious intracranial aneurysms in patients with infective endocarditis

World Neurosurgery Jul 20, 2018

Ares WJ, et al. - Researchers investigated the clinical and radiographic findings that predispose patients to infectious intracranial aneurysms (IIA) in patients with infective endocarditis via a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database of consecutive endocarditis patients undergoing catheter-based angiography at a single tertiary-level academic center from July 2013-December 2017. Findings suggest that, in patients with infectious endocarditis, presence of hemorrhage on non-invasive imaging and history of IV drug use could independently forecast IIA presence. Vulnerable populations for IIA formation could be assessed via risk stratification using these two factors.
