NCT02287792

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of 18-FDG positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) imaging in the management of patients with suspected or proven IE in detecting cardiac valve damages and other extracardiac complications. The study will evaluate whether this procedure can change the clinical decisions (treatments, valve surgery, patients' overall care) and modify the diagnosis of IE.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Proportion of patients with a change in IE therapeutic plan

    at least one modification in antimicrobial or anticoagulant therapy (types, route, dose, number, duration, indication…) or any modification of surgery (type, timing, indications…)

    7 days

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • Proportion of patients with Duke-Li classification modifications

    6 months

  • Performances of 18-FDG PET/CT in detection of IE localization as compared to other usual procedures

    6 months

  • 6-month mortality rate

    6 months

  • Determinants of change in therapeutic plan as defined in primary outcome

    6 months

  • 18-FDG PET/CT inter-reader reproducibility

    6 months

Study Arms (1)

18-FDG PET/CT scan

EXPERIMENTAL

All patients will undergo a whole body PET/CT scan

Procedure: 18-FDG PET/CT scan

18-FDG PET/CT scan

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Subjects aged ≥ 18 years
  • Presenting IE "Duke-Li definite - Duke-Li possible" or strong suspicion of IE "Duke-Li not definite or possible, with initiation of IE antibiotic therapy".
  • Transthoracic or transesophageal ultrasound performed.
  • A stable clinical condition which does not require immediate surgery or contraindicate patient mobilization
  • Absence of cardiac surgery for the current IE episode
  • Covered by the French health insurance system
  • Having given and signed the written study informed consent to the study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patient having already had a 18-FDG PET/CT in the current episode
  • Contraindication to perform a 18-FDG PET/CT
  • Early prosthetic valve IE (cardiac surgery within last 2 months)
  • Inability to understand the information form
  • Pregnant or lactating woman.
  • Participation to any clinical trial including 18-FDG PET/CT
