ABSTRACT
Infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation is a life-threating complication, resulting in high in-hospital and one-year mortality. With the ongoing evolution of transcatheter aortic interventions, the proportion of endocarditis cases encountered by health care providers will continue to rise. Early diagnosis of infective endocarditis is of paramount importance to institute appropriate treatment with antibiotics and/or surgery to avoid negative clinical outcomes. In this review, we outline our experience with two cases of infective endocarditis following transcatheter aortic valve implantation and briefly review the literature on the incidence, microbiology, diagnosis, and management of this condition.
