To summarize the clinical characteristics, complications, and surgical outcomes associated with infective endocarditis in patients with bicuspid aortic valves.
Reviewed clinical characteristics and outcomes of patients with bicuspid aortic valve associated infective endocarditis.
Analyzed structural complications and surgical interventions utilized in management.
Evaluated the effectiveness of multimodal imaging for early detection.
Patients with BAV-IE typically present with severe tissue damage and require early surgical intervention.
Streptococci and staphylococci are identified as the predominant pathogens involved.
Long-term survival rates are favorable with comprehensive management, despite the severity of infection.
