活动期感染性自然心内膜炎的外科治疗

目的　总结活动期感染性自然心内膜炎外科治疗的经验。方法　自 1996年 10月 1日至 2003年 12月 31日,阜外心血管病医院外科共手术治疗活动期感染性自然心内膜炎 54例。有明确感染诱因的 21例,先天性心内结构畸形 23例,风湿性瓣膜病 1例。术前心功能NYHA分级:Ⅰ级6例,Ⅱ级 12例,Ⅲ级 7例,Ⅳ级 29例。术前左心室舒张末径 ( 63±11 )mm。发病至手术间隔 8 ~629d(中位数 125d)。行主动脉瓣置换 25例,主动脉瓣及二尖瓣置换 15例,二尖瓣置换 6例,二尖瓣成形 3例,肺动脉瓣置换 1例,单纯心内分流修补 4例。术后应用足量敏感抗生素 6 ~8周。结果手术死亡 5例,死因均为感染,术后即失访 4例,手术死亡率 17% (9 /54)。14例 ( 26% )发生手术并发症。45例随访 6~67个月,平均(31±19)个月。术后心功能NYHA分级Ⅰ级 41例,Ⅱ级 3例,Ⅲ级 1例,左心室舒张末径 (52±8)mm。2例病人接受再次手术,术后康复;有再次手术指征但未手术者 3例。术后晚期意外死亡 1例,抗凝过量致颅内出血 1例。结论　活动期感染性自然心内膜炎经积极的外科治疗能够取得较好的治疗效果。

Surgical treatment of active infective endocarditis

OBJECTIVE: To summarize the recent experience of surgical management of the active infective endocarditis (IE) disease in Fuwai Hospital. METHODS: From October 1, 1996 to December 31, 2003, 54 patients with active IE underwent heart operation in Fuwai Hospital. There were 41 males, 13 females, with an average age of 35 years old and an average weight 58 kg. Of the cases, 23 had congenital anomalies of the heart, and 1 had rheumatic valvulitis. Streptococci were found in 20 patients, staphylococci in 3, enterococci in 1, enterococcus in 2 and G(+) cocci in 1. Pre-operative cardiac classification (NYHA): class I was in 6 cases, class II in 12 cases, class III in 7 cases and class IV in 29 cases. Systemic embolization occurred in 23 cases and pulmonary infarction in 2 cases. Emergent operations were performed in 27 cases because of heart failure (8 cases), embolism (4 cases), aggressive infection (3 cases), heart failure plus embolism (2 cases), heart failure with aggressive infection (4 cases), aggressive infection with embolism (2 cases) and all the three factors (4 cases). The operations included aortic valve replacement (25 cases), aortic and mitral valves replacement (15 cases), mitral valve replacement (6 cases), mitral valve repair (3 cases), pulmonic valve replacement (1 case) and intracardiac shunt repair (4 cases). RESULTS: The operative mortality was 17% (5 operative death and 4 lost in following-up after being discharged). All of operative deaths were due to infection. Fourteen patients had operative complications. The morbidity included peri-prosthetic leakage (8 cases), prosthetic IE (5 cases), residual intracardiac shunt (2 cases), complete heart block (2 cases), myocardial infarction, ventricular fibrillation, pulmonary trunk stenosis, and mitral regurgitation (1 case in each). Post-operative cardiac classification (NYHA): class I was in 41 cases, class II in 3 cases, class III in 1 case. Two patients were re-operated because of peri-prosthetic leakage, and then they were cured. Re-operation was also performed in other 3 patients. Unrelated late sudden death occurred in 1 patient and hemiplegia caused by anticoagulant intracranial hemorrhage in another patient. CONCLUSION: Acceptable results can be achieved with active surgical intervention in active patients with IE.
