Background The optimal treatment of patients developing infective endocarditis (IE) after
transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is uncertain. Objectives The goal of this study …

Background Infective endocarditis (IE) after transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a
devastating complication associated with a high mortality. Our objective was to determine …

Background The microbial etiology of prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (PVE) can be
difficult to identify. Our aim was to investigate the benefit of molecular imaging technique …
