Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study analyzed 166 patients undergoing cardiac surgery for infective endocarditis (IE), focusing on post-operative vasoplegic syndrome, which is characterized by severe, persistent low blood pressure.
- Among the patients, 31.9% developed this syndrome, mainly linked to inflammation rather than infections, with most requiring valve replacement surgery and having significant cardiac-related complications.
- A high percentage of in-hospital deaths (87%) occurred in patients with vasoplegic syndrome, primarily due to multiorgan failure, highlighting its severity and the need for awareness in post-operative care.
