We aimed to determine the incidence, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of patients with IE post-TAVR treated with balloon-expandable valve (BEV) versus self-expanding valve (SEV) systems. Data from the multicenter Infectious Endocarditis After TAVR International Registry was used to compare IE patients with BEV versus SEV. A total of 245 patients with IE post-TAVR were included (SEV, 47%; BEV, 53%). The timing between TAVR and IE was similar between groups (SEV, 5.5 [1.2-15] months versus BEV, 5.3 [1.7-11.4] months; P=0.89). Enterococcal IE was more frequent in the SEV group (36.5% versus 15.4%; P The characteristics of IE post-TAVR, including microorganism type, vegetation location, and embolic complications but not early or late mortality, differed according to valve type. These results may help to guide the diagnosis and management of IE and inform future research studies in the field.enendocarditisincidenceregistrytranscatheter aortic valve replacementAgedAged, 80 and overAortic ValveAortic Valve StenosisBalloon ValvuloplastyClinical Decision-MakingDevice RemovalEndocarditis, BacterialFemaleHeart Valve ProsthesisHumansIncidenceMalePatient SelectionProsthesis DesignProsthesis-Related InfectionsRegistriesReoperationRetrospective StudiesRisk AssessmentRisk FactorsTime FactorsTranscatheter Aortic Valve ReplacementTreatment Outcomeresearch article3169441210.1161/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.119.0079381941-7632
