A Rare Case of Endocarditis and Mycotic Pseudoaneurysm of the Left Ventricle Caused by Escherichia coli Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Infective endocarditis caused by gram-negative enteral bacteria is very rare. Herein, we report the first case of infective endocarditis complicated by a paravalvular mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle caused by Escherichia coli post transcatheter aortic valve replacement, highlighting the...

Sumario:Infective endocarditis caused by gram-negative enteral bacteria is very rare. Herein, we report the first case of infective endocarditis complicated by a paravalvular mycotic pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle caused by Escherichia coli post transcatheter aortic valve replacement, highlighting the diagnostic workup, multimodality imaging, and treatment options.
