Outcomes of Treatment for Infective Endocarditis Following Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
October 12, 2023
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (tPVR) is a key therapy in RVOT pathologies but is associated with long term risks such as infective endocarditis (IE). In fact, some reports claim a higher IE risk compared to surgical pulmonary valve replacement.
