Surgical Intervention for Isolated Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis—Refining Patients' Selection
In our institution, surgical intervention for isolated TVIE has a mortality rate of 34.6%. Men, a history of IVDU, lower preoperative hemoglobin levels, and reduced LVEF were significant predictors of postsurgical mortality. Earlier surgical intervention for TVIE before the development of anemia or impaired LV systolic function may have a potential survival benefit.
