Surgical treatment of cardiac prosthetic endocarditis is crucial for infection eradication and hemodynamic improvement. While aortic prosthesis infections have low operative mortality, mitral cases show high mortality and recurrence rates.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

Context:

  • Between 1974 and 1988, 2,796 cardiac prostheses were implanted.
  • 23 patients (27 prostheses) developed endocarditis during follow-up.

Purpose:

  • To report the authors' experience with surgical treatment of cardiac prosthetic endocarditis.
  • To highlight diagnostic challenges and treatment outcomes.

Summary:

  • High operative mortality observed in mitral prosthetic endocarditis.
  • Low operative mortality but high recurrence in aortic prosthesis endocarditis.
  • Surgical intervention is vital for infection control and hemodynamic restoration.

Impact:
