Reoperative surgery for early- and late-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis: temporal trends and outcomes
This nationwide analysis demonstrates improved PVE outcomes compared to historical data, with overall mortality of 8.4%. While early reoperations were associated with more complex procedures and longer hospital stays, mortality rates were statistically similar. Age remains the primary determinant of mortality risk.
