Popis: In addition to medical treatment, half of the patients with infective endocarditis (IE) receive surgical treatment. Despite clear recommendations on the indications and the operating delays, the decision remains difficult and must take into consideration several factors.A retrospective study was performed at Foch Hospital. All patients operated for IE between 2005 and 2018 were included. Patient characteristics, indications and operating delays, as well as intrahospital mortality, were noted. Patient follow-up was provided by phone calls.Fifty-two patients were operated on for IE between 2005 and 2018. The most frequent surgical indications were the presence of a massive symptomatic regurgitation, an uncontrolled infection and large vegetations with embolism. The average operative delay was 13.2 days with 56.5% of patients operated within the first 10 days. The most common postoperative complications were acute kidney injury (AKI) in 57.7% of cases, with 9.6% of dialysis, shock in 50% of cases, rhythm disorders in 40.4% of cases, infectious complications in 19.2% of cases, conductive disorders in 25% of cases, of which 17.3% require a definitive pacemaker implementation. The intrahospital mortality was 7.7% and the average length of hospital stay was 35 days. Survival at one year and 5 years was 95% and 85%, respectively.The indications and the operating delays were conformed to international recommendations. Intrahospital and long-term mortality rate was low.
