Outcome after surgery for prosthetic valve endocarditis and the impact of preoperative treatment Herko Grubitzsch, MD, PhD, Andreas Schaefer, Christoph Melzer, MD, PhD, Klaus-Dieter Wernecke, MD, PhD, Davide Gabbieri, MD, Wolfgang Konertz, MD, PhD The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery Volume 148, Issue 5, Pages 2052-2059 (November 2014) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2014.05.025 Copyright © 2014 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Outcome after surgery for PVE for all patients. Kaplan–Meier curves for overall and event-free survival and for freedom from recurrent PVE and reoperation are depicted.

Figure 2 Association between preoperative treatment and events. Kaplan–Meier curves show comparison of event rates according to preoperative intervals. Almost all patients were receiving medical treatment with antibiotics between diagnosis and surgery, whereas no patient was between onset of symptoms and diagnosis.
