摘要

•309 patients with suspected native valve endocarditis were studied•The VEG tool to assess leaflet visualization and valve leaflet clarity was applied•In those with a VEG score >6, the negative predictive value was 97.5%•In selected patients, incorporation of VEG score may reduce the need for invasive TEE
