Background In the management of infective endocarditis (IE), the presence of extracardiac complications has an influence on both diagnosis and treatment. Current guidelines suggest that systematic thoracoabdominal-pelvic computed tomography (TAP-CT) may be helpful. Our objective was to describe how systematic TAP-CT affects the diagnosis and the management of IE. Methods In this multicenter cohort study, between January 2013 and July 2016 we included consecutive patients who had definite or possible IE according to the Duke modified criteria, validated by endocarditis teams. We analyzed whether the Duke classification and therapeutic management were modified regarding the presence or the absence of IE-related lesion on CT and investigated the tolerance of this examination. Results Of the 522 patients included in this study, 217 (41.6%) had 1 or more IE-related lesions. On the basis of CT results in asymptomatic patients, diagnostic classification was upgraded from possible endocarditis to definite endocarditis for only 4 cases (0.8%). The presence of IE-related lesions on CT did not modify the duration of antibiotic treatment (P =.55), nor the decision of surgical treatment (P =.39). Specific treatment of the lesion was necessary in 42 patients (8.0%), but only 9 of these lesions (1.9%) were asymptomatic and diagnosed only on the TAP-CT. Acute kidney injury (AKI) within 5 days of CT was observed in 78 patients (14.9%). Conclusions The TAP-CT findings slightly affected diagnosis and treatment of IE in a very small proportion of asymptomatic patients. Furthermore, contrast media should be used with caution because of the high risk of AKI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
