Patients were divided into 2 groups for statistical comparison according to the presence or absence of preoperative septic cerebral embolism. Propensity score matching was performed for adjusted comparisons of postoperative outcomes. Primary outcomes were 30-day mortality and estimated 5-year survival.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A total of 4917 patients were included in the analysis, 3909 (79.5%) patients without and 1008 (20.5%) patients with preoperative septic cerebral embolism. Patients with preoperative septic cerebral embolism had more baseline comorbidities. Mitral valve endocarditis (44.1% vs 33.0% P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), large vegetations &amp;gt;10 mm (43.1% vs 30.0%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001), and Staphylococcus species infection (42.3% vs 21.3%, P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were more frequent in the cerebral embolism group. Among patients with preoperative cerebral embolism, 286 (28.4%) patients had no stroke signs (silent stroke). After matching (1008 matched pairs), there was no statistically significant difference in 30-day mortality (20.1% vs 22.8%; P\u2009=\u20090.14) and 5-year survival (47.8% vs 49.1%; stratified log-rank
