Abstract
Introduction: Infectious endocarditis is a serious disease with a high morbimortality. Diagnosis relies on modified criteria of Dukes. The main surgical indications in emergency are hemodynamic, infectious, and embolic complications. The aim of this work is to present epidemiological, clinical, and ultrasonographic characteristics, and report our experience in order to assess the results of surgical treatment of the disease and to improve the management. Methods: This is a monocenter retrospective study of 203 patients operated for infective endocarditis, collected between January 2001and June 2015. This study interested only the operative period. Results: The mean age is 42 years with male predominance (62, 12%). The causal heart disease was predominantly rheumatic in 40 % of cases. 7. %88 had endocarditis on a cardiac prosthesis. The causative germ is isolated in only 47% of cases; Staphylococcus and Streptococcus were the most frequent germs. The left ventricular function was altered in 24 % of cases. The patients were operated in emergency in 59 cases and delayed surgery in 144 cases. Valve replacement was done in 84,8 % of cases and valve repair in 15.2 % of cases. Stay in intensive care unit was more than 72 hours in 28 % of cases, intubation procedure < 24 hours in 69%, post-operative stay ≥ 7 days in 70 %, and simple post-operative history in 60 % of cases. Conclusion: endocardial infection is a serious disease. Regular studies detailing the epidemiology of these infections. The actual trend is in favor of earlier surgery, privileging valve repair.
