Neurologic complications of late prosthetic valve endocarditis.
We reviewed the records of 20 patients with late prosthetic valve endocarditis who were hospitalized at the University of Iowa between 1985 and 1988. There were 14 men and six women, aged 20-80 (mean 57.9) years. The infected valves were mechanical in 11 patients (six aortic and five mitral) and bioprosthetic in the other nine. Echocardiography in 12 patients demonstrated vegetations in one. Am...

متن کاملProsthetic Valve Endocarditis
In 38 cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis, 19 were early cases (onset < 60 days after insertion of prosthesis) and 19, late cases (onset> 60 days). Nine late cases had onsets 12 to 53 months after surgery. The sources or predisposing factors in late cases included dental disease or manipulation; genitourinary tract procedures; and skin, urinary, or wound infections. In contrast, most early c...

متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis.
Prosthetic valve endocarditis occurs in 2-4% of patients with prosthetic valves and carries a mortality of around 50%. A low index of suspicion should enable early diagnosis. The empirical use of antibiotics in patients with a prosthetic valve who develop an unexplained fever is inappropriate. Careful liaison between cardiologist, microbiologist and cardiac surgeon is essential for optimal mana...
