3 WHAT IS INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS (IE)? IE is an infection of the endocardium (usually bacterial) or prosthetic surfaces in the heart May include one or more heart valves, the mural endocardium, or a septal defect PATHOGENESIS OF IE a. Pathogens gain access to bloodstream b. Pathogens adhere to valve surface c. Some pathogen species gain entry to cells, causing inflammation of tissue d. Pathogens proliferate leading to maturation of vegetation on valve e. Embolization of vegetation particles and systemic spreading of the pathogens often occurs Adapted from Werdan, K. et al Nat. Rev. Cardiol.

4 IE AND BIOPROSTHETIC VALVES Infective endocarditis (IE) is a potential late complication associated with ALL types of bioprosthetic valve implants SURGICAL TRANSCATHETER including RV-PA Conduits SAPIEN TM* THV CoreValve TM TAVR Melody TM TPV

5 DIAGNOSIS OF IE Criteria have been developed to diagnose IE, but not directly applicable to prosthetic valves or right-heart-specific Duke Criteria (developed 1994) often used as guidelines but has limitations MODIFIED DUKE CRITERIA: 2 major or 1 major+3 minor or 5 minor Developed for native valve endocarditis Applicability to prosthetic valve endocarditis (including transcatheter valves) is questionable New valvular stenosis not listed in Duke criteria, but indicative of IE in prosthetic valves Echo Inconsistent & Unreliable Always Add TPV stenosis Almost never Durack DT, Lukes AS, Bright DK. New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis: utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service. American Journal of Medicine. 96(3):200-9, 1994 Li JS, Sexton DJ, Mick N, Nettles R, Fowler VG Jr, Ryan T, Bashore T, Corey GR. Proposed modifications to the Duke criteria fort he diagnosis of infective endocarditis. Clin Infect Dis. 2000;30:

6 DIAGNOSIS OF IE Blood cultures May be most specific / sensitive TTE Not ideal for adult patients, patients with multiple surgeries or multiple stents TEE Limited RVOT imaging CT/PET/SPECT ICE Potential limitations of diagnostic modalities: May be difficult to visualize RVOT and leaflets using echocardiography making it challenging to identify bacterial vegetations 1 Also makes it difficult to distinguish between TPV-related and TPVunrelated IE Blood cultures and TEE are more often negative for endocarditis in prosthetic valves than in native valves 2 Echo neg. in as many as 70% CHD-IE 3 1ESC Guidelines on Infective Endocarditis, Habib et al., European Heart Journal, Cheung, et al, Intl J of Cardiology, 2015

7 MODIFIED CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS OF IE ESC Task Force proposed that the sensitivity of the Duke criteria can be improved by new imaging modalities (MRI, CT, PET/CT) that allow the diagnosis of embolic events and cardiac involvement when TTE/TOE findings are negative or doubtful 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis; European Heart Journal (2015) 36, doi: /eurheartj/ehv319 1 May include cerebral MRI, whole body CT, and/or PET/CT

8 MODIFIED CRITERIA FOR DIAGNOSIS OF IE The ESC Task Force proposes the addition of three further points in the diagnostic criteria (modified Duke Criteria): (1) The identification of paravalvular lesions by cardiac CT should be considered a major criterion (2) In the setting of the suspicion of endocarditis on a prosthetic valve, abnormal activity around the site of implantation detected by 18F-FDG PET/CT (only if the prosthesis was implanted for >.3 months) or radiolabelled leucocyte SPECT/CT should be considered a major criterion (3) The identification of recent embolic events or infectious aneurysms by imaging only (silent events) should be considered a minor criterion 2015 ESC Guidelines for the management of infective endocarditis; European Heart Journal (2015) 36, doi: /eurheartj/ehv319 Definitions of the terms used in the European Society of Cardiology 2015 modified criteria for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis Major criteria 1. Blood cultures positive for IE a. Typical microorganisms consistent with IE from 2 separate blood cultures: Viridans streptococci, Streptococcus gallolyticus (Streptococcus bovis), HACEK group, Staphylococcus aureus; or Community-acquired enterococci, in the absence of a primary focus; or b. Microorganisms consistent with IE from persistently positive blood cultures: 2 positive blood cultures of blood samples drawn > 12 h apart; or All of 3 or a majority of 4 separate cultures of blood (with first and last samples drawn 1 h apart); or c. Single positive blood culture for Coxiella burnetii or phase I IgG antibody titre > 1: Imaging positive for IE a. Echocardiogram positive for IE: Vegetation; Abscess, pseudoaneurysm, intracardiac fistula; Valvular perforation or aneurysm; New partial dehiscence of prosthetic valve. b. Abnormal activity around the site of prosthetic valve implantation detected by F-FDG PET/CT (only if the prosthesis was implanted for >3 months) or radiolabelled leukocytes SPECT/CT. c. Definite paravalvular lesions by cardiac CT. Minor criteria 1. Predisposition such as predisposing heart condition, or injection drug use. 2. Fever defined as temerature > 38º C. 3. Vascular phenomena (including those detected by imaging only); major arterial emboli, septic pulmonary infarcts, infectious (mycotic) aneurysm, intracranial haemorrhage, conjunctival haemorrhages, and Janesway s lesions. 4. Immunological phenomena; glomerulonephritis, Osler s nodes, Roth s spots and rhumatoid factor. 5. Microbiological evidence; poitive blood culture but does not meet a major criterion as noted above or serological evidence of active infection with organism consistent with IE

9 DIAGNOSIS OF IE IS INCONSISTENT Comparison of IE rates across publications is difficult as IE is not always equally defined Need standardized definitions and reporting criteria Rates as published may be over-estimated due to low threshold for IE diagnosis Rates may be under-estimated due to under-reporting and/or lack of follow-up IE Incidence may be reported as cumulative - or as IE cases per patient year Streptococci Staphylococci

10 Prosthetic valve IE AoV surgery IE occurs in 3-4% of patients within 5 years of index surgery and affects mechanical - and bioprosthetic valves equally > 1/3 cases are health-care-acquired Early prosthetic IE (< one year post surgery) = within the first 2 months after index surgery ( causative are usually staphyloccoci species) IE > 1 year: causative organisms are the same as in native valve IE S.aureus prosthetic IE has a 1 year mortality rate up to 50% Cahill TJ, Pendergast BD. Infective endocarditis.lancet 2016,387:

11 Incidence of IE after TAVI/TAVR Amat-Santos et al. Circulation 2015;131: IE/7944pts post TAVR (US registry) IE incidence was 0.67%/1.1 patient years (0.5%/patient year) Olson NT et al.

JAMA 2016;316: IE/20006pts post TAVR; 47 centers from Europe, USA, and South Am. Overall IE incidence of 1.1% per patient year, onset 5.3 months after TAVR But TAVR and PPVI patient groups differ significantly, patients after PPVI have a life expectancy of decades not years/months

24 Melody vs Sapien Hascoet S et al.2017 JACC Card. Interv. 10(5); PPVI in 79 patients (Melody valve 32, Sapien valve 47) IE n = 8/32 (25%) only after Melody; one patient died of sepsis, 4 elective surgical valve removal and 2 delayed surgical removal, 1 re-ppvi After the initially high IE incidence protocol was changed to a 3 day antibiotic regime, more accent on infection prevention and only Sapien Median follow-up Melody: 4.9 years compared to Sapien 1.0 years Conclusion Hascoet et al.: IE after PPVI may be less common with the Sapien compared with the Melody valve.

27 conclusion all patients with bioprosthetic valves are at risk for IE In our patient cohort cumulative IE rate was 6%, and annual incidence was 1.8 %/patient year. So far, all of our patients treated for IE after PPVI survived during PPVI, we aim to achieve the best possible hemdynamic result (residual gradient < 15 mmhg, meticulous preparation of the landing zone; avoiding post dilatation with high pressure balloons) In suspected IE after PPVI key is clinical risk assessment and visualization of the implanted valve to decide on the adequate management strategy

28 conclusion robust comparative data for surgical RVOT prostheses is not available, so the relative risk with PPVI (Melody TM TPV/Sapien) is difficult to estimate prophylaxis to aid in prevention of IE are key after all bioprosthetic valve implants (surgically and catheter delivered) anticoagulation may lower the incidence of primary thrombus formation PPVI continues to provide a safe and beneficial therapeutic option for CHD patients with failed RVOT conduits, delaying their next surgical intervention

29 conclusion 91% of our PPVI patients live with their PPVI valve surgery PPVI
