[Early results of surgical treatment of infective endocarditis].
Operations were performed on 183 patients with infective endocarditis and injury of the valve apparatus of the heart. Duration of the disease was from 5 weeks to 9 years. Insufficiency of circulation of the III-IV functional class was noted in 92% of the patients. High activity of the infective process observed in 30% of the patients by the moment of operation did not influence the results of surgical treatment. Postoperative lethality was 7.6%.
