Coming soonStaphylococcal prosthetic heart valve endocarditis is a severe, life-threatening infection of mechanical or bioprosthetic cardiac valves caused by staphylococcal species, predominantly *Staphylococcus aureus* or coagulase-negative staphylococci such as *Staphylococcus epidermidis*.
The disease affects the cardiovascular system of individuals who have undergone surgical or transcatheter valve replacement.
Pathophysiologically, the bacteria adhere to the prosthetic material or damaged peri-annular tissue, forming adherent biofilms and destructive vegetations that frequently lead to invasive intracardiac complications, including perivalvular abscesses, valve dehiscence, and severe regurgitation.
Clinically, it typically presents with persistent bacteremia, fever, new or changing murmurs, and acute heart failure, accompanied by a high propensity for systemic septic embolization.
