    Summary

    This study on active infective endocarditis found that rapid patient evaluation and intensive preparation for valve prostheses surgery are crucial. Early surgical intervention in infective endocarditis cases improves outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Valvular Heart Disease

    Context:

    • Active infective endocarditis of native heart valves presents a significant surgical challenge.
    • A cohort of 117 patients with active infective endocarditis underwent surgical valve prostheses implantation.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical management for active infective endocarditis.
    • To assess the efficacy of rapid patient preparation and early surgical intervention.

    Summary:

    • The study involved 117 patients with active infective endocarditis, primarily affecting aortic and mitral valves.
    • Patients received intensive pre-operative therapy including antibacterial, cardiotropic, and immunomodulating treatments over 10 days.
    • Valve prostheses, predominantly domestic "LIKS-2" and Karboniks-1, were implanted, with a reported lethality of 7.6% and recurrent endocarditis in 6% of cases.
    • Reoperations utilized specific techniques like femoral artery cannulation, retrograde cardioplegia, and right-sided thoracotomy for mitral valve procedures.

    Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of a streamlined surgical strategy for active infective endocarditis.
    • Emphasizes the need for rapid patient assessment and prompt surgical intervention to improve patient outcomes in infective endocarditis cases.
