Abstract

Infective endocarditis (IE) is lethal complications inspite of advanced antibiotics. Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) complications are dehiscence, paravalvular leak, perivalvular abscess, heart failure, persistent fever, positive blood culture and presence of vegetation. Therefore, the diagnosis is confirmed by clinical findings, blood cultures, and echo data according to Duke’s criteria. Surgery in those cases are life-saving when indicated, despite it carries high risk mortality especially after stroke.
