Abstract
Among 302 episodes of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), 1-year mortality was 31%. There was no evidence indicating that early-onset PVE within 6 months from valve surgery led to a worse outcome compared to late-onset PVE (21% vs 32%, P = .126), despite similar redo valve surgeries across both categories.
