Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1991
Prosthetic valve endocarditis is an infrequent but serious complication of valve surgery. It occurred in 25 (3.2%) of 772 patients who received aortic, mitral or double valve replacement in 1971-1987. The total follow-up time was 3,976 patient years, giving an incidence of 0.63/100 patient years.

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1987
About 2% of patients with a prosthetic valve will develop endocarditis. This may occur within a few weeks of the valve replacement operation (early) or many months or years later (late). The infecting organisms, pathogenicity and prognosis differ in the two groups.

Prosthetic valve endocarditis

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2010
Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is associated with a high mortality during the early and midterm follow-up despite diagnostic and therapeutic improvements; its incidence is increasing and reaches 20-30% of all infective endocarditis episodes. In this review, changes in epidemiology, microbiology, diagnosis and therapy that have evolved in the past ...

Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1975
From January 1963 until January 1974, 45 patients had prosthetic valve endocarditis. Symptoms of prosthetic valve endocarditis developed within 2 months after operation (early onset) in 16 patients (36%) and more than 2 months after operation (late onset) in 29 patients (64%).

Mycobacterial Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2010
Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) due to mycobacteria is a rare but frequently fatal complication that may occur early after the surgical procedure, or even years later. Infection has been described with both mechanical and biologic valvular prosthesis. The most commonly implicated mycobacterial species belong to the rapid-grower group (M.
