Outcomes after surgical treatment of native and prosthetic valve infective endocarditis.

Abstract

Surgical treatment of IE was associated with 90% hospital survival.

Outcomes within the 30 days were better for native valve than for prosthetic valve endocarditis. Long-term outcomes were similar. Finally, S aureus was associated with significantly higher mortality compared with other pathogens.
