SONQUI-SOTO, José Pablo et al. Infective endocarditis following transcatheter aortic valve replacement with SAPIEN 3 prosthetic valve. Cardiovasc. metab. sci [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.2, pp.78-81.  Epub 29-Mayo-2023. ISSN 2954-3835.  https://doi.org/10.35366/105823.

Infective endocarditis in native valves or in surgically replaced valves has been widely reported in the literature; however, it is still in a continuous process of investigation regarding infective endocarditis in transcatheter bioprosthetic valves. We present the case of a 66-year-old female patient with the diagnosis of early infective endocarditis (IE) of percutaneous prosthetic aortic valve SAPIEN 3 who had a favorable clinical evolution and outcome with conservative treatment with antibiotics despite that in-hospital mortality incidence due to IE-TAVR, represents > 40%. The report of new cases with their different characteristics, various treatments and results obtained, is considered of great importance to support the diagnosis and medical care for future patients.

Palabras llave : EI-TAVR; Streptococcus mitis; transesophageal echocardiogram; SAPIEN 3 prosthetic valve.
