Cardiac surgery not a better option than antibiotics in TAVI - IE cases
Overview
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a common life-threatening disease with high in-hospital mortality of nearly 20%. This group of patients requires timely radical surgical treatment that involves the removal of the infected valve, followed by valve prosthesis implantation. Since large floating vegetations on the valve surface have developed, emergent surgical treatment is indicated.
Cardiac surgery fails to improve clinical outcomes when compared with antibiotic treatment alone among high-risk patients who developed infective endocarditis after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) says a recent study published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology on February 21, 2022.
