Overview

Early valve surgery should be scheduled when there is heart failure due to the valve dysfunction, left-sided infective endocarditis due to Staphylococcus aureus, fungal or highly resistant organisms, or a heart block, annular or aortic abscess or destructive lesions. Other indications include persistent bacteremia or fever 5 to 7 following the initiation of the antibiotics, relapse of the infection depsite a complete course of antibiotics in prosthetic valve endocarditis when no portal of infection can be identified, recurrent emboli and persistent vegetations despite antibiotic therapy, and mobile vegetations with a length more than 10 mm in native valve endocarditis.

Indications

Indications for surgical debridement of vegetations and infected perivalvular tissue, with valve replacement or repair as needed are listed below:[1]

  1. Moderate to severe congestive heart failure due to valve dysfunction
  2. Unstable valve prosthesis
  3. Uncontrolled infection for > 1–3 week despite maximal antimicrobial therapy
  4. Persistent bacteremia
  5. Fungal endocarditis
  6. Relapse after optimal therapy in a prosthetic valve
  7. Vegetation in Situ
  8. Prosthetic valve endocarditis with perivalvular invasion
  9. Endocarditis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa or other gram-negative bacilli that has not responded after 7–10 days of maximal antimicrobial therapy
  10. Perivalvular extension of infection and abscess formation
  11. Staphylococcal infection of prosthesis
  12. Persistent fever (culture negative)
  13. Large vegetation (>10 mm is associated with an increased risk of embolism)
  14. Relapse after optimal therapy in a native valve
  15. Vegetations that obstruct the valve orifice
  16. Onset of AV block

Indications for Surgery for Native Valve Endocarditis (DO NOT EDIT)[2]

Class I
"1. Decisions about timing of surgical intervention should be made by a multispecialty Heart Valve Team of cardiology, cardiothoracic surgery, and infectious disease specialists (301). (Level of Evidence: B) "

"5. Early surgery (during initial hospitalization before completion of a full therapeutic course of antibiotics) for IE is indicated in patients with evidence of persistent infection as manifested by persistent bacteremia or fevers lasting longer than 5 to 7 days after onset of appropriate antimicrobial therapy (347, 352, 353, 360-362). (Level of Evidence: B) "
"6. Surgery is recommended for patients with prosthetic valve endocarditis and relapsing infection (defined as recurrence of bacteremia after a complete course of appropriate antibiotics and subsequently negative blood cultures) without other identifiable source for portal of infection. (Level of Evidence: C) "
"7. Complete removal of pacemaker or defibrillator systems, including all leads and the generator, is indicated as part of the early management plan in patients with IE with documented infection of the device or leads (363-366). (Level of Evidence: B) "


Class IIa
"1. Complete removal of pacemaker or defibrillator systems, including all leads and the generator, is reasonable in patients with valvular IE caused by Staphylococcal aureus or fungi, even without evidence of device or lead infection (363-366). (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Complete removal of pacemaker or defibrillator systems, including all leads and the generator, is reasonable in patients undergoing valve surgery for valvular IE. (Level of Evidence: C) "
"3.Early surgery (during initial hospitalization before completion of a full therapeutic course of antibiotics) is reasonable in patients with IE who present with recurrent emboli and persistent vegetations despite appropriate antibiotic therapy (302, 367, 368). (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIb
"1. Early surgery (during initial hospitalization before completion of a full therapeutic course of antibiotics) may be considered in patients with native valve endocarditis who exhibit mobile vegetations greater than 10 mm in length (with or without clinical evidence of embolic phenomenon) (302, 367, 368). (Level of Evidence: B)"

Indications for Surgery for Prosthetic Valve Endocarditis (DO NOT EDIT) [3]

Class I
"1. Consultation with a cardiac surgeon is indicated for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Surgery is indicated for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with heart failure. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"3. Surgery is indicated for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with dehiscence evidenced by cine fluoroscopy or echocardiography. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"4. Surgery is indicated for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with evidence of increasing obstruction or worsening regurgitation. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"5. Surgery is indicated for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with complications (e.g., abscess formation). (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class III
"1. Routine surgery is not indicated for patients with uncomplicated infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve caused by first infection with a sensitive organism. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. Surgery is reasonable for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with evidence of persistent bacteremia or recurrent emboli despite appropriate antibiotic treatment. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Surgery is reasonable for patients with infective endocarditis of a prosthetic valve who present with relapsing infection. (Level of Evidence: C)"
