摘要: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) represents a rare and serious complication of replacement associated with high morbidity mortality, which significantly differs from native (NVE). There are two major problems: establishing diagnosis treatment PVE. Diagnosis in PVE is challenging often requires several imaging methods besides standard microbiological analyzes. Transesophageal echocardiographic examination remains the widely used technique diagnosis, but additional techniques such as computed tomography (CT) 18F-fluodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT necessary. Persistent fever, embolic complications, dehiscence, intracardial abscess, heart failure, well staphylococcal fungal require surgical to avoid lethal outcome. The introduction transcatheter implantations devices complicated approach - diagnostic therapeutic patients. Despite constantly increasing knowledge regarding pathogenesis PVE, optimal therapy matter debate. Additional studies necessary define strategies for this potentially fatal complication.
