Short- and Long-term Outcomes of Surgical Treatment of Active Infective Endocarditis

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  •   Objective  To analyze the short- and long-term outcomes of surgical treatment of active infective endocarditis(IE).
      Methods  Surgeries were performed for 71 patients with active IE from January 2001 to July 2010. Patients with prosthetic valve or healed IE were excluded.
      Results  Of these 71 patients, the mean age was 44.6±14.4 years, and 55(77.5%) were men. Streptococcus was the most common causative microorganism. Two patients (2.8%) died during post-surgical hospital stay. Survivors were followed up for 42.4±32.4 months. The actuarial 1-, 5-, and 10-year survival rates were (98.5±1.5)%, (92.6±4.5)%, and (79.4±12.8)%, respectively.
      Conclusion  Surgery can achieve satisfactory short- and long-term effectiveness for active IE.
