“…While its role in native valve endocarditis is less well established, PET may prove to be of particular value in identifying right-sided infections in patients with adult congenital heart disease that are more difficult to image by echocardiography. 24–26…”

“…Another retrospective multicenter study of 8 tertiary hospitals in France demonstrated the high positive predictive value of 18 F-FDG PET for the detection of prosthetic pulmonary valve endocarditis, a major issue in the growing congenital heart disease population. 24,25 Transcatheter aortic valve endocarditis is another growing concern that occurs in 2% of patients undergoing this procedure, most commonly in the periprocedural period due to Enterococcus species . 38 In a retrospective analysis of 30 patients with suspected transcatheter aortic valve endocarditis, 18 F-FDG helped to reclassify 8 of these patients and led to alternative diagnoses in several cases.…”

The use of positron emission tomography imaging with 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose in the diagnostic workup of patients with suspected prosthetic valve endocarditis and cardiac device infection (implantable electronic device and left ventricular assist device) is gaining momentum in clinical practice. However, in the absence of prospective randomized trials, guideline recommendations about 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography in this setting are currently largely based on expert opinion. Measurement of aortic valve microcalcification occurring as a healing response to valvular inflammation using 18 F-sodium fluoride positron emission tomography represents another promising clinical approach, which is associated with both the risk of native valve stenosis progression and bioprosthetic valve degeneration in research trials. In this review, we consider the role of molecular imaging in cardiac valvular diseases, including aortic stenosis and valvular endocarditis, as well as cardiac device infections.

“…The second imaging technique recommended in the ESC guidelines, 18 F-FDG PET/CT, relies on 18 F-FDG uptake by white blood cells after an injection 1-h prior to imaging. 18 F-FDG PET/CT has a sensitivity of 67–80%, specificity of 75%, positive predictive value of ∼90% and negative predictive value of ∼40% for the diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis [44 ▪ –46], and a sensitivity and specificity of ∼85% for the diagnosis of infection in implanted cardiac devices [47]. In native valve IE, known for inducing a smaller white blood cell traffic [48], 18 F-FDG PET/CT alone showed a sensitivity within the range of 20–57% and a specificity approximating 100% [49 ▪ ,50].…”

Purpose of reviewThe incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) is increasing worldwide, resulting in a higher number of patients with IE being admitted to intensive care units (ICU). Nearly half of patients with IE develop a complication during their clinical course. However, few well conducted studies or reviews are devoted to critically ill IE patients. This review discusses the contemporary perioperative and intensive care literature.Recent findings IE epidemiology is changing towards elderly and frail patients. ICU patients are at risk of risk of developing IE because they are often in a pro-inflammatory state and many also have several indwelling catheters, which favors infection. Increased performance and recent advances in cardiac imaging allow for easier diagnosis of EI, but the applicability of these techniques to ICU patients is still relatively limited. New developments in antibiotic treatment and adjunctive therapies are explored further in this review.
