Abstract : Despite advances in medical care, infective endocarditis (IE) has high mortality. Surgery for IE though recommended for complications of the disease is still not commonly offered due to conflicting reports in the literature. We reviewed our results of surgery for IE from the last 5 years to assess their outcome.
