Surgical treatment for complex infective endocarditis involving prosthetic valve replacement yields significant long-term survival. Careful surgical reconstruction and perioperative management are crucial for successful outcomes in these challenging cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Prosthetic Valve Surgery

Context:

  • Complex infective endocarditis presents significant surgical challenges.
  • Prosthetic valve replacement is a critical intervention for native valve endocarditis.
  • Surgical management requires addressing annular abscesses and leaflet destruction.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the early and long-term results of surgical treatment for complex infective endocarditis with prosthetic valve replacement.
  • To assess the efficacy of complex annular reconstruction techniques.
  • To determine survival and reoperation rates after surgery.

Summary:

  • This retrospective study analyzed 57 patients undergoing prosthetic valve replacement for complex native valve endocarditis.

  • Operative mortality was 11%, with complications including low cardiac output and infection.
  • At a mean follow-up of 5.93 years, 5-year actuarial survivorship was 61% and freedom from reoperation was 84%.

    • Impact:

    • Urgent surgical intervention is recommended for complex infective endocarditis.
    • Successful outcomes depend on meticulous intraoperative reconstruction and optimized perioperative care.
    • Strategies to prevent recurrent endocarditis are vital for long-term patient benefit.
