BACKGROUND Since publication of the Duke criteria for diagnosing endocarditis, several articles have confirmed their sensitivity when native and prosthetic valves are considered together. OBJECTIVES To compare the differences between the older von Reyn criteria and the Duke criteria in prosthetic valve endocarditis only, and to determine if the latter's sensitivity could be improved by adding...
The treatment of recurrent prosthetic valve endocarditis is extremely difficult. Heart transplantation (HT) may save the patient's life. Recurrent endocarditis, however, can occur after HT. This report described a patient who had under gone four conventional valve surgeries and three HTs successfully. In May 2000, a 14-year-old boy suffered from endocarditis with severe aortic valve regurgitati...

By recognition of factors influencing on causes of redo operation and preoperative survival, one can select appropriate prosthesis at primary valve replacement and when operation performed at appropriate time, surgical risk can be reduced.Methods and Materials: Two hundred patients that underwent p...
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the microbiological characteristics and risk factors for mortality of infective endocarditis in two tertiary hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City, south Vietnam. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study of 189 patients (120 men, 69 women; mean age 38 ± 18 years) with the diagnosis of probable or definite infective endocarditis (IE) according to the modified Duke Cr...
