Abstract

Infective endocarditis is a disease associated with high mortality and serious complications. The perivalvular extension of infective endocarditis is associated with a worse prognosis and more frequently affects prosthetic valves. Diagnostic imaging is essential to be able to identify these complications and establish the best therapeutic strategy, usually combining intravenous antibiotic treatment and surgery.
