Mortality Predictors in the Surgical Treatment of Active Infective
Endocarditis
Introduction: Active infective endocarditis is associated with high morbidity and
mortality. Surgery is indicated in high-risk conditions, and the main
determinants of mortality in surgical treatment should be evaluated.Objective: To identify mortality predictors in the surgical treatment of active
infective endocarditis in a long-term follow-up.Methods: This prospective observational study involved 88 consecutive patients
diagnosed with active infective endocarditis, who underwent surgery between
January 2005 and December 2015. Fifty-eight (65.9%) patients were male, the

Long-Term Results of Mitral Valve Repair
Introduction: Current guidelines state that patients with severe mitral regurgitation
should be treated in reference centers with a high reparability rate, low
mortality rate, and durable results.Objective: To analyze our global experience with the treatment of organic mitral
regurgitation from various etiologies operated in a single center.Methods: We evaluated all surgically treated patients with organic mitral
regurgitation from 2004-2017. Patients were evaluated clinically and by
echocardiography every year. We determined early and late survival rates,
valve related events and ...

OPCABG for Moderate CIMR in Elderly Patients: a Superior
Option?
Objective: To compare the early and late outcomes of off-pump coronary artery bypass
grafting and coronary artery bypass graft + mitral valve repair in elderly
patients with moderate chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation.Methods: One hundred and fifty elderly (age> 70 years) patients with moderate
chronic ischemic mitral regurgitation who underwent off-pump coronary artery
bypass grafting (n=95) or coronary artery bypass graft + mitral valve repair
(n=55) between January 2007 and December 2014 were studied. They were
subdivided according to presence or absence of high operative ris...
