[Valvular replacement in florid endocarditis. Report on 5 cases].

B Reichart, L Brunner, W Klinner

    Thoraxchirurgie, Vaskulare Chirurgie
    |April 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Valve replacement for active endocarditis is a complex procedure. While heart failure is a primary indication, outcomes vary, necessitating careful patient selection for aortic and mitral valve surgery.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Cardiac Medicine

    Context:

    • Active endocarditis presents significant challenges in cardiac surgery.
    • Valve replacement is considered in severe cases of endocarditis.

    Purpose:

    • To report on the experience of valve replacement in patients with active endocarditis.
    • To discuss indications and outcomes of this surgical intervention.

    Summary:

    • Five patients underwent valve replacement (four aortic, one mitral) due to heart insufficiency.
    • Two patients experienced mortality: one from heart failure, another from brain embolus with persistent endocarditis.
    • Additional indications like serial emboli, fungal endocarditis, antibiotic resistance, and mycotic aneurysms were discussed.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the risks and potential benefits of valve replacement in active endocarditis.
    • Informs surgical decision-making for complex endocarditis cases.
    • Contributes to the understanding of outcomes in a high-risk surgical population.
