Objectives:
To investigate the short-term outcome of patients with infective endocarditis (IE).
Patients And Methods:
We analyzed data from 42 patients with active endocarditis which underwent different cardiac surgeries. An active endocarditis was considered due to urine analysis and/or blood culture and acute inflammation Gram stains of sample tissue and/or blood culture and acute inflammation Gram stains of sample tissue.
Design:
Collecting data of 42 patients prospectively.
Setting:
University hospital single center.
Participants:
Patients with IE from July 2014 to June 2016.
Interventions:
None.
Measurement And Main Results:
We collected data of 42 patients in Imam Hospital which is a university-based 1700-bed center. Twelve patients experienced a redo operation; in which, 2 of them have had the second redo. Five patients underwent an aortic valve replacement operation, 2 mitral valve repair, and only one patient had experienced a subaortic web resection. Seven cases were addict; in which, 5 of them were intravenous abusers. There was 1 porphyric patient which suffered from pethidine reliability. Most of our cases underwent Bentall or tricuspid valve repair operation, and multivalve operation was more scarce.
Conclusions:
We have presented the therapeutic strategies and outcome of patients with IE and evaluated their short-term outcome.
