Endocarditis Surgery
Endocarditis is defined as a condition in which the heart becomes infected. The infection can impair the overall function of the heart and the function of the heart valves, which can lead to serious health risks for patients. First-line treatment consists of antibiotics and supportive measures to improve the patient’s general condition.

However, if the infection persists despite this treatment, loss of function of the heart valves and structural defects in the heart, surgical intervention becomes mandatory.

Especially in patients who have had heart valve surgery before, infection can also develop in artificial valves. In such a case, surgical treatment is inevitable.

Endocarditis surgery is an extremely risky procedure. Therefore, the success rate of the surgery increases if it is performed only by surgical teams with specialized experience.
