Key result
The frequency of emergency operations was significantly higher in patients who underwent mitral valve plastic surgery (13.9%) compared to those who had mitral valve replacement (5.3%, p=0.02).
Why the study?
The study was conducted to analyze the clinical manifestations of infective endocarditis with mitral valve involvement.
Population

In patients with infective endocarditis of the mitral valve, males are more frequently affected, and those undergoing mitral valve repair present more often as surgical emergencies compared to those undergoing replacement.
Soltani et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Infective endocarditis with mitral valve involvement (n=287). Mitral valve plastic surgery vs. Mitral valve replacement was evaluated on Frequency of emergency operations (p=0.02). The frequency of emergency operations was significantly higher in patients who underwent mitral valve plastic surgery (13.9%) compared to those who had mitral valve replacement (5.3%, p=0.02).
