Cite This Study

Maya et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis (n=1). Surgical valve repair and antibiotics (vancomycin, rifampicin, gentamicin) was evaluated on Clinical recovery. A 66-year-old male with early prosthetic valve endocarditis and severe paravalvular leak was successfully treated with surgical valve repair and a 6-week antibiotic regimen.
