    Tricuspid infective endocarditis (TIE) outcomes vary by infection source and organism resistance. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus significantly increases mortality risk in TIE patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Tricuspid infective endocarditis (TIE) is a serious condition with varied patient demographics and outcomes.
    • Understanding risk factors and prognostic indicators is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, causative organisms, and prognostic factors of TIE.
    • To evaluate the impact of infection source and antimicrobial resistance on TIE outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 56 TIE cases over 15 years.
    • Patients categorized into three groups based on infection source: abortion/drug use, catheter/visceral, and unidentified.
    • Outcomes assessed based on patient age, organism type, treatment, and mortality.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was 30%.
    • Drug addiction-associated TIE in younger patients had a better prognosis (3 deaths) compared to catheter-related TIE in older patients (8 deaths).
    • Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) was associated with significantly higher mortality (6 deaths out of 9 cases) compared to sensitive staphylococci (3 deaths out of 31 cases).

    Conclusions:

    • The site of infection entry and organism antimicrobial susceptibility are critical determinants of TIE prognosis.
    • Tricuspidectomy is indicated only for uncontrolled infections, not for persistent pulmonary emboli.
    • Infective endocarditis management requires tailored strategies based on specific patient and pathogen characteristics.
