Key result
Diagnosing infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is challenging, as echocardiography alone is insufficient and multimodality imaging may offer higher sensitivity.

Gilbert Habib (2018) conducted an editorial in Infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) was evaluated. Diagnosing infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is challenging, as echocardiography alone is insufficient and multimodality imaging may offer higher sensitivity.
