Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a potential life threatening complication. Better understanding of the incidence, predictors, clinical presentation, diagnostic measures, complications and management of PVE may help improve TAVI long-term outcome. We report a case of TAVI-PVE in an 80-year-old...
متن کاملEndocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation: a current assessment
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) constitutes an established treatment in inoperable or high perioperative risk patients with severe aortic stenosis, demonstrating similar mortality rates (at 30 days and 1 year) with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Various complications have been reported during TAVI, weeks or months post procedure. The most frequent causes of transcathet...
