  • Title: Early prosthetic valve endocarditis complicating repeated attempts at CoreValve implantation.
    Author: Chrissoheris MP, Ferti A, Spargias K.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2011 Dec; 23(12):E291-2. PubMed ID: 22147412.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is emerging as a promising, effective therapy for high-risk patients not eligible to undergo surgical aortic valve replacement. Infection complications have only rarely been reported. We report a case of probable endocarditis caused by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus following repeated attempts at implantation of a CoreValve bioprosthesis.
