Key result
Individualized surgical timing manages peripartum infective endocarditis complicated by mycotic cerebral aneurysms.
Why the study?
Mycotic cerebral aneurysm is a rare but serious complication of infective endocarditis, which itself is a rare and potentially fatal complication of pregnancy.
Comparison
Cardiac surgery prior to cerebral surgery vs emergency cerebral surgery after delivery

These rare peripartum cases highlight individualized multidisciplinary timing of cardiac and cerebral interventions; leaves open optimal sequencing strategies.
Case Report (n=2)
Highlights the complex surgical management and timing of cardiac and cerebral interventions in peripartum women with infective endocarditis and mycotic cerebral aneurysms.
Oohara et al. (1998) conducted a case report in Infective endocarditis complicated by mycotic cerebral aneurysm (n=2). Surgical management (cardiac and cerebral surgery) was evaluated. Surgical management of two peripartum women with infective endocarditis and mycotic cerebral aneurysm required individualized timing of cardiac and cerebral interventions.
