Infective endocarditis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement with SAPIEN 3 prosthetic valve
Abstract: Infective endocarditis in native valves or in surgically replaced valves has been widely reported in the literature; however, it is still in a continuous process of investigation regarding infective endocarditis in transcatheter bioprosthetic valves. We present the case of a 66-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of early infective endocarditis (IE) of percutaneous prosthetic aortic valve SAPIEN 3 who had a favorable clinical evolution and outcome with conservative treatment with antibiotics despite that in-hospital mortality incidence due to IE-TAVR, represents > 40%. The report of new cases with their different characteristics, various treatments and results obtained, is considered of great importance to support the diagnosis and medical care for future patients.
