ABSTRACT

A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted to describe the results of surgical treatment in 45 patients undergoing infectious endocarditis associated with cardiac devices (EIDC) at the Institute of Cardiology and Cardiovascular Surgery of Havana in the period January 1992 to December 2008. Patients above the sixth decade were the most affected and predominance of males. The EIDC was presented with the highest incidence in relation to the EIVN and EIVP. The predominant germ in blood cultures was Staphylococcus aureus (ECP). The surgical procedure consisted of pacemaker lead extraction or DAI, and more than half took place without CPB. Heart failure, postoperative bleeding and surgical wound infection were the most common complications. The hospital mortality was 8 EIDC, 9%.
