Mean age of patients was 53.8\u2009\u00b1\u200917.1 years, 39 (69.6%) being male. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 60.4\u2009\u00b1\u200913.6% and 13 (23.2%) patients had diabetes mellitus. Average logistic EuroSCORE was 19.4\u2009\u00b1\u200917.0%. Mean follow-up was 4.7\u2009\u00b1\u20093.8 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Microbiological investigations revealed positive blood cultures in 89.1% of patients and positive intraoperative swabs in 51.9%. The most common pathogen (42.9%) isolated was Staphylococcus aureus, followed by coagulase-negative staphylococcus (17.9%).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Discussion\u2003A history of intravenous drug abuse (IVDA) was recorded in 11 patients (19.6%), of which 8 patients additionally had hepatitis C. A total of 15 patients (26.8%) had a permanent pacemaker\/implantable cardioverter-defibrillator in situ. TV replacement was performed in 22 patients (39.3%) and TV repair was performed in 34 patients (60.7%). Overall 30-day mortality was 12.5%. Five-year survival was 63.9\u2009\u00b1\u20097.2% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 64.0\u2013137.5 months). Freedom from reoperation for recurrent TV endocarditis was 91.7\u2009\u00b1\u20094.0% (95% CI: 152.3\u2013179.3 months) at 5 years.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003Blood culture is the most important tool to detect the causative pathogen causing IE of TV. The high risk of hepatitis C in patients with IVDA and IE of the TV should be mentioned.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1564926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,26]],"date-time":"2015-10-26T23:40:12Z","timestamp":1445902812000},"page":"626-633","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Tricuspid Valve Surgery in Patients with Isolated Tricuspid Valve Endocarditis: Analysis of Perioperative Parameters and Long-Term Outcomes"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"65","author":[{"given":"Piroze","family":"Davierwala","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Misfeld","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Farhad","family":"Bakhtiary","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Binner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Etz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Friedrich","family":"Mohr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bettina","family":"Pfannmueller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mareike","family":"Kahmann","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Heart Surgery, Leipzig Heart Centre, University of Leipzig, Leipzig, Germany"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,26]]},"container-title":["The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0035-1564926.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,20]],"date-time":"2017-12-20T07:01:23Z","timestamp":1513753283000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0035-1564926"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,26]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"08","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,1]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,12]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0035-1564926","relation":{},"ISSN":["0171-6425","1439-1902"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0171-6425","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-1902","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,26]]}}}
