Expanding utility of cardiac computed tomography in infective endocarditis: A contemporary review

Figure 7 Aortic endovascular stent infection. Aortic endovascular stents are also prone to infection, and negative transesophageal echocardiography for valvular vegetations with a high suspicion should prompt consideration for other sources of infections, as in this case, which was demonstrated on cardiac computed tomography with prominent soft-tissue thickening (star) around the proximal descending thoracic aorta stent.
