| Abstract [eng] |
Objective: The objective of the present study was to examine in-hospital and long-term outcomes after surgical treatment of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) between 1 January 2000 and 1 July 2006. Patients and methods: Group 1 comprised 20 patients with previous infective endocarditis (IE) and group 2-21 patients without previous IE. The mean age was 51.2 ± 10.1 years. Results: Ten patients (26.8%) died within 30 days post operation for PVE. In-hospital mortality of group 1 patients was 25% and of group 2 - 28.6%. The five-year survival rate is 59.9% (gr. 1) and 53.5% (gr. 2), p > 0.005. Conclusion: Operation for PVE carries a high 30-day mortality and a reduced long-term survival. There was no evidence that previous infective endocarditis had an impact on survival rate in patients operated on for PVE. |
