Surgical treatment for infective endocarditis in children is associated with low early mortality and favorable postoperative echocardiographic outcomes.
Objective: Review of some clinical and paraclinical characteristics and evaluation of outcomes after surgical treatment of valvular heart disease due to infective endocarditis in children at Hanoi Heart Hospital Methods: Analysis and evaluation based on data collected from patients undergoing surgery and from the results of follow-up examination.[1] Results: The total number of patients was 25. Average age of surgery: 6,56 ± 7.05 years (The lowest age is 1years, the highest is 15 years). Male: 14 patients (56%), female: 11 patients 44(%). Ultrasound before discharge and after 3 months, we found similar results: mean EF:57,25 ± 9,68 %; Mean pressure through mitral valve: 3,5 ± 1,5mmHg; through aortic valve: 12,5 ± 1,68mmHg. Complications: Death immediately after surgery: 0 cases (0%); Late death: there was 1 case of death (4%). Conclusion: Results of surgery for valvular heart disease due to infective endocarditis in children are positive. The rate of mortality and complications after surgery is low.
