Key result
Surgical treatment of infectious endocarditis in 3,700 patients over a 40-year period was analyzed to determine the principles of intervention and evaluate immediate and long-term outcomes.
Observational (n=3,700)
This large case series summarizes 40 years of surgical experience in treating 3700 patients with infectious endocarditis, detailing principles of intervention and outcomes.
Large single-center IE surgery series may guide complex interventions; leaves open prospective validation of principles and outcomes.
The issues of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and diagnosis of intracardiac infection are considered on the basis of the experience of surgical treatment of 3700 patients with infectious endocarditis. The principles of surgical interventions for various forms of infectious endocarditis, as well as for its most severe variants, accompanied by destruction of intracardiac structures and damage to other organs, are presented. The immediate and long- term results o f treatment and opportunities for their improvement are analyzed.
