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...

Fifty-three (3.6%; actuarially 4.1% at 48 months) of 1465 consecutive in-hospital survivors of valve replacement from 1975 to July 1979 (aortic, mitral, or aortic and mitral, only one untraced) developed prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE). Incremental risk factors for developing PVE were native valve endocarditis (p < .0001), black race (p = .0001), mechanical prosthesis (vs bioprosthesis) (p ...

The clinical, laboratory, and histopathological features of seven cases of Aspergillus fumigatus prosthetic valve endocarditis are presented. The exact nature of the lesion, a combination of infective fungal endocarditis and thrombosis on the prosthetic valve, is discussed and the difficulties in clinical diagnosis are emphasized. Helpful indications were sudden unexplained heart failure with t...
