Abstract

Aim. The study was aimed to analyze the results of surgical treatment of infectious endocarditis associated with intravenous drug abuse. Methods and results. The study included 53 patients, 36 male and 17 female, 28,7 ± 7 years old. 60 operations were performed: 41 patients underwent tricuspid valve replacement, 7 pts – tricuspid valve repair, 7 pts – tricuspid valve rereplacement, 2 pts – mitral and tricuspidal valves replacement, 2 pts – aor- tic and tricuspid valves replacement, 1 patient – trivalve replacement. Hospital mortality was 1,7%. Conclusi- on. The used principles of surgical treatment of infectious endocarditis in drug abuse patients allow to rich a low mortality and complications rates in the postoperative period in this heavy group of patients.
