Our study was designed to create a rabbit model of IE right-sided with echocardiographic guidance.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Thirty rabbits underwent both catheterization and inoculation (group A). These were divided into three subgroups of ten based on the time of catheter removal (immediately, after 24\u00a0h, and after death or moribundity for groups, A<jats:sub>1<\/jats:sub>, A<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>, and A<jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>, respectively). Ten inoculated-only and ten catheterized-only rabbits served as controls. A catheter system consisted of a polyethylene catheter and a guide wire inside it. This system was passed through the rabbits\u2019 tricuspid valves under echocardiographic guidance to damage them. The ratio of left ventricle to right ventricle (LV\/RV) was measured in a four-chamber view before catheterization and at the time of death or moribundity. The peak velocity of tricuspid regurgitation (V<jats:sub>TR<\/jats:sub>) was measured in a four-chamber view at the time of catheterization and at the time of death or moribundity. <jats:italic>Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> (ATCC 29213) inoculation was performed 24\u00a0h after right heart catheterization to produce IE.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>IE was confirmed in 28 of 30 rabbits by macroscopic and histologic examination of tricuspid valves, blood cultures, and bacterial count in cardiac vegetations. Cardiac vegetations were confirmed in 25 of 28\u00a0IE rabbits by echocardiography.
