Why the study?
Prosthetic valve endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a rare but serious complication with scarce and limited data.
Case Report (n=1)
Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a rare but serious complication that can occur after TAVR.
PVE after TAVR warrants ongoing vigilance; case report leaves open optimal prevention and management strategies.
Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a rare but very serious and often deadly complication. Despite that, data are scarce and limited. Here, we report a case of a patient who developed PVE three months following TAVR and review the literature.
