Abstract

Objective: to evaluate the short-term outcomes of surgical treatment of left-sided infective endocarditis (IE) in Hanoi Heart Hospital.


Patients and Methods: A retrospective, cross-sectional and descriptive study on all patients underwent surgery for left-sided IE from 3/2015 to 3/2019 in Hanoi Heart Hospital.


Result: 56 patients underwent surgery for left-sided IE in 4 years; the mean age was 45.8 ± 16.0; male-female ratio was 3.3/1. 9 patients (16.1%) had prosthetic valve endocarditis. Preopeative blood cultures were positive in 35.7%, the mainly microorganism was Streptococcus (21.4%). Emergency and urgent surgery was performed in 14.3%; the most frequently postoperative complication was kidney failure, the in-hospital mortality rate was  5.4%. During the average follow-up time of 36.6± 14.2 months, the recurrence rate of IE was 17.8%.


Conclusion: surgical treatment of left-sided infective endocarditis is still a great challenge, the early recurrence and motality rate are high.
