Is delayed surgery related to worse outcomes in native left-sided endocarditis?
Conclusions
Delayed surgery is not associated with worse outcomes. Both early and delayed approaches are safe and provide acceptable results. Timing of surgery should be tailored to each patient’s clinical status, not based on duration of endocarditis alone.
