May warrant heightened IE suspicion post-TAVR; leaves open incidence, risk factors, and management strategies.
Infective endocarditis after TAVR is a rare but severe complication with a poor prognosis, requiring prompt diagnosis and management similar to SAVR endocarditis.
Eisen et al. (2012) conducted a review in Infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (n=10). Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was evaluated on Infective endocarditis characteristics and outcomes. Infective endocarditis after TAVR occurred at a mean of 186 days post-procedure in 10 identified cases, often involving atypical organisms and carrying a poor overall prognosis.
