ABSTRACT
Pulmonary prosthetic valve endocarditis (PPVE) is a rare condition. While antibiotic and anticoagulation therapy are commonly successful, in cases of treatment failure or severe valve damage, surgical intervention is often necessary. In critical patients, percutaneous intervention can play a crucial role in stabilizing the patient's clinical condition. We detail a bridge-to-surgery approach using percutaneous aspiration of endoprosthetic valve endocarditis followed by pulmonary valvuloplasty in a patient in shock needing ECMO support.
