BACKGROUND
Endocarditis in native or prosthetic valve
Endocarditis in congenital patients
Treatment : combined
+ medical
+ surgical : who, when and how
+ transplantation
Active endocarditis : still infection of a native or
prosthetic heart valve, the endocardial surface,
or an indwelling cardiac device

DESIGN OF STUDY
Retrospective study
All infective endocarditis patients who were
operated from 1995 to 2015 at HoChiMinh
Heart Institute.
Focus on 75 pts who were operated in 2day-2
weeks from admission

Operative mortality : 6 (8%) ( 3 cerebral

( 5 cases IE relapse multiple modified Bentall
– 3 death).

Follow up
Median time of FU : 9 years ( range from 3
months to 19 years)
Late death : 5 ( 4 LCO and 1 sudden death )
Late IE recur ( > 1 y) : 5 ( 4 redo and 2 death)

Conclusion
Surgical Indication should be based on clinical
manifestation + IE ’ s nature
Early surgery in some condition like annular
abscess, uncontrol HF, uncontrol infection,
big vegetation…
Our study showed that the result of early
surgery for active endocarditis is good in
intermediate and long-term FU.
