Alerts clinicians to possible mitral endocarditis after transapical TAVI; single case leaves incidence and prevention open.
An 80-year old patient underwent a transapical aortic valve implantation. On the 28th postoperative day, the patient developed acute mitral valve endocarditis. Initially, the patient was unsuccessfully treated conservatively. After 71 days, the patient was operated on with mitral valve replacement. In this report, we discuss the potentially growing problem of complications related to transcatheter valve implantation.
