The primary objective was to assess the value of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) criteria, including 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) in prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (PVE). Secondary objectives were: 1) to assess the reproducibility of 18 F-FDG-PET/CT; 2) to compare its diagnostic value with that of echocardiography; and 3) to assess the diagnostic value of the presence of a diffuse splenic uptake BACKGROUND: 18 F-FDG PET/CT has been added as a major criterion in the ESC 2015 infective endocarditis (IE) guidelines, but the benefit of the ESC criteria has not been prospectively compared with the conventional Duke criteria.
