First year after surgery is the optimal period to define early prosthetic valve endocarditis: a cohort study
We consider that the first year after surgery is the most appropriate period for defining early PVE. Our results question whether cases diagnosed in the first 6 months after surgery constitute cases of early EVP and the need for valve replacement, as postulated by European guidelines.
