Abstract

A 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and aortic stenosis who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) presented with persistent TAVR-associated infective endocarditis (TAVR IE) despite a prolonged antibiotic course. TAVR IE is a rare yet fatal complication, with surgical treatment carrying a high mortality rate, particularly in patients with systolic heart dysfunction. We present a case of successful TAVR explantation with left ventricular assist device insertion in a patient with persistent TAVR IE and refractory congestive heart failure with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 20%.
