Surgical treatment of infective endocarditis is associated with high in-hospital mortality, particularly in cases with periannular abscess or prosthetic valve involvement, but survivors demonstrate satisfactory long-term survival and valve function.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
High in-hospital mortality with surgical IE warrants careful patient selection; observational data leaves optimal timing and indications open.
