| Description: |
Although advances in medical and surgical management have significantly improved clinical outcomes, infective endocarditis (IE) remains a significant threat to patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). The complexity of cardiac anatomy, the presence of prosthetic materials, and the emergence of novel pathogens pose unique diagnostic challenges in this specific population. However, the use of personalized imaging, integrating the strengths of each modality, has the potential to refine the diagnostic process, thereby optimizing diagnostic accuracy, guiding therapeutic decisions, and, ultimately, improving patient clinical outcomes. This review delves into the critical role of the multimodality imaging approach in the care of patients with IE and CHD, underscoring the importance of tailored and patient-centered management strategies in this vulnerable cohort. |
