Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2005
Prosthetic valve endocarditis is a catastrophic complication of cardiac valve replacement, associated with high mortality rates. Medical treatment is effective in a few instances of endocarditis involving the leaflets alone in bioprostheses. However, accurate diagnosis, better myocardial protection, and improved surgical strategies have led to better ...

Prosthetic valve endocarditis. [PDF]

Circulation, 1984
Fifty-three (3.6%; actuarially 4.1% at 48 months) of 1465 consecutive in-hospital survivors of valve replacement from 1975 to July 1979 (aortic, mitral, or aortic and mitral, only one untraced) developed prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). Incremental risk factors for developing PVE were native valve endocarditis (p less than .0001), black race (p ...

Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis [PDF]

, 2022
Prosthetic valve infective endocarditis (PVE) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. With the increasing number of prostheses implanted every year, the incidence of PVE is expected to rise. The diagnosis of PVE is challenging as blood cultures are often negative and the sensitivity of echocardiography is suboptimal in the presence of ...
