[Cardiac abscesses].
The paper analyzes the experience in treating 75 patients with cardiac abscesses of various sites. Abscesses complicated the natural history of infectious endocarditis in all patients. The clinical features of cardiac abscesses are shown to be related to the stage of the destructive process. Echocardiography, follow-up analysis of ECH, PhCG and overall clinical data are demonstrated to play a role in their diagnosis. The paper discusses the specific features of surgical intervention into the heart if abscesses are present. Out of 75 patients who have been operated on for abscessing infectious endocarditis, 53 have had an operation and survived.
