Faith MichaelJamie FarrowAnthony MainPublished in: Clinical medicine insights. Case reports (2023)
This case highlights the need for further research regarding the risk of IE in patients waiting for TAVI. Current literature focuses on the development and management of IE following TAVI. Clinicians must understand that TAVI candidates have multiple risk factors for IE, including valvular disease, age, and comorbidities. IE should be considered as a possible cause for decompensated heart failure in patients awaiting TAVI.
