Mitral valve replacement or repair and long-term risk of infective endocarditis: a Danish nationwide study
In this nationwide study, MV replacement was associated with a 3.5-fold increased 10-year IE rate, whereas MV repair was not significantly associated with IE, compared with patients at moderate risk of IE. These findings highlight the need for further investigation into preventive measures, including targeted antibiotic prophylaxis.
