Tugtekin et al. (2013) conducted a case report in Prosthetic valve endocarditis after transapical TAVI (n=1). Cardiac surgery (salvage procedure) was evaluated on Clinical outcome. Salvage cardiac surgery for fulminant prosthetic valve endocarditis after transapical TAVI was technically uneventful, but the patient died several days postoperatively due to persisting sepsis.
