Abstract
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has been associated with an increased risk of infective endocarditis. However, there are few reports investigating the risk of endocarditis with the specific prostheses used in TPVR-the Melody valve and SAPIEN valve. Rarely, endocarditis of the pulmonary valve may also extend to adjacent tissue, resulting in the need for more complex surgical management. This article reviews current literature on infective endocarditis following TPVR and compares this to rates following surgical pulmonary valve replacement, with a particular focus on the Melody valve, SAPIEN valve, and Contegra conduit. We will also discuss our experiences with pulmonary valve endocarditis and several reported cases of its extension to the aortic valve and paravalvular area.
期刊介绍：
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery is devoted to providing a forum for cardiothoracic surgeons to disseminate and discuss important new information and to gain insight into unresolved areas of question in the specialty. Each issue presents readers with a selection of original peer-reviewed articles accompanied by editorial commentary from specialists in the field. In addition, readers are offered valuable invited articles: State of Views editorials and Current Readings highlighting the latest contributions on central or controversial issues. Another prized feature is expert roundtable discussions in which experts debate critical questions for cardiothoracic treatment and care. Seminars is an invitation-only publication that receives original submissions transferred ONLY from its sister publication, The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery. As we continue to expand the reach of the Journal, we will explore the possibility of accepting unsolicited manuscripts in the future.
