Abstract
Aortic PVE is associated with a high rate of early complications and substantial early mortality. Patients who survive the immediate postoperative period have satisfactory long-term survival. The risk of recurrent endocarditis is low, especially in patients treated with homografts. The results have improved during the past decade.
