Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 72 patients who underwent surgery for aortic infective endocarditis with mitral valve involvement over 19 years, with a notable predominance of male patients and Streptococcus as the most common pathogen.
- Surgical procedures included aortic valve replacement for most patients, and the in-hospital mortality rate was 18.1%, with some experiencing complications like low cardiac output and heart block.
- Long-term survival rates were positive, with 96.4% survival at 1 year, and overall outcomes improved significantly after the second year post-surgery, despite the inherent risks associated with double-valve endocarditis.
