  1. Ao aortic valve, Mt mitral valve, Tr tricuspid valve, PM pacemaker, N/D no data
  2. aThis study describes 12 patients with diagnosed endocarditis, but anatomical information is reported for 8 patients only. The authors confirmed that none of the other cases had involved a tricuspid valve infection
  3. bBoth cases include coinfection of a pacemaker lead and the mitral valve
  4. cThis study describes 89 native valve and 23 prosthetic valve IE cases, but anatomical information is reported for only 82 and 22 cases, respectively. No case of prosthetic tricuspid valve infection is reported in the study
  5. dThis group published another study with very similar findings that is not included in Table 1 [20]. That study reported a single case of a pacemaker IE among 109 patients with S. bovis IE. There were no cases of prosthetic tricuspid valve IE
  6. eAll patients in this study had left valves infection (18 in the aortic valve and 19 in the mitral valve). Twenty-seven of these cases involved native valves, and nine involved prosthetic valves
  7. fAll patients in this study had left valves infection (22 in the aortic valve, 10 in the mitral valve, and 23 in both valves). Forty-seven of these cases involved native valves, and eight involved prosthetic valves
  8. gAll patients in this study had left valves infection (eight in the aortic valve and six in the mitral valve). Thirteen of these cases involved native valves, and one involved prosthetic valve
