What mortality is expected for IE surgery?

In-hospital mortality for IE surgery ranges from 5-15% for uncomplicated native valve IE to 20-40% for complicated cases (sepsis, heart failure, CNS embolism, prosthetic valve IE with abscess).

Does EuroSCORE II apply well to IE surgery?

EuroSCORE II underestimates IE surgery mortality because active endocarditis is a major independent risk factor not fully captured. IE-specific models (De Feo, Gaca) provide better calibration in this population.

What factors predict IE surgery mortality?

Key predictors include: pre-operative shock, active cerebral embolism, renal failure, aortic root abscess, MRSA/fungal etiology, early surgery timing (<7 days), and multiple valve involvement.

IE Mortality EuroSCORE Perioperative

Estimate perioperative mortality for infective endocarditis surgery using EuroSCORE II or IE-specific risk models incorporating active infection, renal failure, and hemodynamic status.
