Duke Criteria for the Diagnosis of Infective Endocarditis
  • Major criteria
    • Blood culture positive for infective endocaditis
    • Evidence of endocardial involvement
      • Oscillating intracardiac mass on a valve or supporting structure, in the path of regurgitant jets or on implanted material.
      • Abscess
      • New or partial dehiscence of a prosthetic valve
      • New valvular regurgitation (worsening or changing of pre-existing murmur- not sufficient)

Complications of Infective Endocarditis
  • CHF-
    • Greatest impact on prognosis (regardless of its cause!). Therefore                early surgery!
    • The decision to delay surgery to extent the duration of preoperative antibiotic therapy should be discouraged.
    • Powerful predictor of a poor outcome with surgical  therapy as well….

Surgery for Native Valve Endocarditis
  • Class I
  • 1. Surgery of the native valve is indicated in patients with acute infective endocarditis who present with valve stenosis or regurgitation resulting in heart failure. (Level of Evidence: B)
  • 2. Surgery of the native valve is indicated in patients with acute infective endocarditis who present with AR or MR with hemodynamic evidence of elevated LV end diastolic or left atrial pressures (e.g., premature closure of MV with AR, rapid decelerating MR signal by continuous-wave Doppler (v-wave cutoff sign), or moderate or severe pulmonary hypertension). (Level of Evidence: B)
  • 3. Surgery of the native valve is indicated in patients with infective endocarditis caused by fungal or other highly resistant organisms. (Level of Evidence: B)
  • 4. Surgery of the native valve is indicated in patients with infective endocarditis complicated by heart block, annular or aortic abscess, or destructive penetrating lesions (e.g., sinus of Valsalva to right atrium, right ventricle, or left  atrium fistula; mitral leaflet perforation with aortic valve endocarditis; or infection in annulus fibrosa). (Level of Evidence: B).
  •                                                                      (ACC/AHA practice guidelines 2006)


39
Surgery for Native Valve Endocarditis
  • Class IIa
  • Surgery of the native valve is reasonable in patients with infective endocarditis who present with recurrent emboli and persistent vegetations despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. (Level of Evidence: C)
  • Class IIb
  • Surgery of the native valve may be considered in patients with infective endocarditis who present with mobile vegetations in excess of 10 mm with or without emboli. (Level of Evidence: C)

Use of Echocardiography During Diagnosis and Treatment of `Endocarditis
  • Early    x
  • Echocardiography as soon as possible (<12 h after initial evaluation)
  • TEE preferred; obtain TTE views of any abnormal findings for later comparison
  •  TTE if TEE is not immediately available
  • TTE may be sufficient in small children
  • Repeat echocardiography
  • TEE after positive TTE as soon as possible in patients at high risk for complications
  • TEE 7–10 d after initial TEE if suspicion exists without diagnosis of IE or with worrisome clinical course during early treatment of IE
90
Use of Echocardiography During Diagnosis and Treatment of `Endocarditis
  • Intraoperative   x
    • Prepump
  •  Identification of vegetations, mechanism of regurgitation, abscesses, fistulas, and pseudoaneurysms
    • Postpump
  • Confirmation of successful repair of abnormal findings
  •  Assessment of residual valve dysfunction
  • Elevated afterload if necessary to avoid underestimating valve insufficiency or presence of residual abnormal flow
  • Completion of therapy
  • Establish new baseline for valve function and morphology and ventricular size and function    TTE usually adequate; TEE or review of intraoperative TEE may be needed for complex anatomy to establish new baseline
91
Echocardiographic Features That Suggest Potential Need for Surgical Intervention
  • Vegetation     x
    • Persistent vegetation after systemic embolization
    • Anterior mitral leaflet vegetation, particularly with size >10 mm
    • 1 embolic events during first 2 wk of antimicrobial therapy
    • Increase in vegetation size despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy*
92
Echocardiographic Features That Suggest Potential Need for Surgical Intervention
  • Valvular dysfunction     x
    • Acute aortic or mitral insufficiency with signs of ventricular failure
    • Heart failure unresponsive to medical therapy
    • Valve perforation or rupture
    • Perivalvular extension
    • Valvular dehiscence, rupture, or fistula
    • New heart block
    • Large abscess or extension of abscess despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy
