Utility of Intracardiac Echocardiography for Infective Endocarditis and Cardiovascular Device-Related Endocarditis : A Contemporary Systematic Review

Copyright © 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

The diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) can pose a significant challenge, particularly in cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) or cardiac device-related endocarditis (CDIE) (1). While echocardiography remains a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying IE, including PVE and CDIE, there are certain circumstances where transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) may not be conclusive or practically feasible (2). Recently, intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has emerged as a promising alternative for diagnosing IE and evaluating intracardiac infections, especially in cases where transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) has not been revealing, and TEE has been contraindicated. Furthermore, ICE has been found to be useful in guiding transvenous lead extractions in infected implantable cardiac devices (3). This systematic review aims to comprehensively explore the various applications of ICE in the diagnosis of IE and assess its efficacy in comparison to traditional diagnostic methods.
