Cardiac surgery timing on the prognosis of patients with infective endocarditis
Early surgical intervention did not increase the risk of death in patients with IE, nor did it increase the risk of recurrence and reoperation within one year. Therefore, we recommend early surgical intervention before completing a cycle of antibiotics in patients with a clear diagnosis, unstable cardiac function, or risk of recurrent embolism.
