  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

A clinical and pathological study was performed in 11 cases of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and these cases were compared with 55 cases of non-operated infective endocarditis (NOE) at Heart Institute of Japan during 1969 to 1981. During this period, 1027 cases underwent prosthetic valve re-placement and PVE occurred in 11 (1.1%). In 6 cases of PVE, Hancock porcine valve was affected which amounted 4.3% of 139 cases of Hancock bio-prosthesis.

In PVE, gram negative bacilli (30%) and fungi (27%) were identified more commonly than in NOE, in which incidence was 8% and 0% respec-tively.

Among 11 cases of PVE, 6 (54.5%) were complicated by cerebral infarction, and this inci-dence was significantly higher (p<0.0001) than in NOE (1.1%). Among 5 deceased patients with PVE, the cause of death was cardiac in 3 and cere-bral infarction in 2.

In tissue valve, vegetation was always located on the cusp, as well as in the host tissue over the sew-ing ring in 1 case. On the other hand, infective endocarditis was recognized only surrounding the sewing ring in mechanical prostheses.
