TL;DR: Patients with silent CVC or TIA have a relatively good prognosis, whereas those with stroke have significant excess mortality particularly in case of mechanical prosthetic valve IE or impaired consciousness.
Superiority of surgical versus medical treatment in patients with Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis.
TL;DR: The surgical treatment seems to be the best way to improve the results after Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis, and the multivariate analysis finds severe sepsis and index of comorbidity as independent factors related to the global late mortality.

Impact of early surgery on 6-month outcome in acute infective endocarditis
TL;DR: Early surgery performed in 34% of patients is independently associated with reduced mortality and should be considered in selected cases to improve outcome in acute IE.

Gilbert Habib,Christophe Tribouilloy,Franck Thuny,Roch Giorgi,Amel Brahim,Amazouz M,J.P. Remadi,Georges Nadji,Jean-Paul Casalta,F. Coviaux,Jean-François Avierinos,Lescure X,Alberto Riberi,Pierre-Jean Weiller,Dominique Metras,Didier Raoult +15 more
TL;DR: PVE not only carries a high in-hospital mortality risk but also is associated with high long term mortality and needs close follow up after the initial episode and early surgery is strongly recommended for these patients.

J.P. Remadi,Gilbert Habib,Georges Nadji,Amel Brahim,Franck Thuny,Jean Paul Casalta,Marcel Peltier,Christophe Tribouilloy +7 more
TL;DR: Early surgery is independently associated with reduced overall mortality and should be considered in selected cases to improve the outcome, following a large cohort of adults with Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis.
