Enlarged (> 50 mm) atria, longstanding (> 5 years) persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) and age > 70 years are considered predictive of recurrent AF following surgical ablation. The electrophysiological and clinical outcome after AF-ablation was evaluated in high-risk patients undergoing concomitant procedures.

We described clinical-epidemiological features of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) and assessed the determinants of early surgical outcomes in multicentre design.

Background: The aim of this large retrospective study was to provide a logistic risk model along an additive score to predict early mortality after surgical treatment of patients with heart valve or prosthesis infective endocarditis (IE). Methods: From 2000 to 2015, 2715 patients with native valve endocarditis (NVE) or prosthesis valve...
