About this trial

The investigators will compare patients with and without infective ndocarditis undergoing valve surgery and evaluate factors that may help optimise perioperative care of these high-risk patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patients > 18 years

Dutch or English speaking

All patients with infective endocarditis admitted to Amsterdam UMC in the study period

All patients with infective endocarditis scheduled for cardiac valve surgery compared to a matched cohort of patients scheduled for similar surgery due to non-infectious indication in Amsterdam UMC in the same period

Disqualifiers

Previous history of coagulation disorders

Trial population

The study population will consist of two groups (a study group and a control group) of male and female patients, 18 years and older. The study group consists of all patients with infective endocarditis admitted to the Amsterdam UMC, in either location. Endocarditis patients undergoing valve surgery will also be compared to patients undergoing similar surgery for non-infectious reasons (control group).

Treatments tested in this trial

  • None, observational

    Other intervention

    Patients with infective endocarditis who do and do not undergo valve surgery compared with patientswithout endocarditis, who are operated on with similar valve surgery

Treatment groups

are divided into 3 treatment groups
Group A: Infective endocarditis, surgical arm1 intervention
Group B: Infective endocarditis, conservative arm1 intervention

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Thromboembolic complications

Any thromboembolic complications occuring between surgery and 1 year post operatively (incidence, class and severity)

Time frame
up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of perioperative coagulation abnormalities

How often perioperative coagulation abnormalities, measured by classical laboratory values and rotational thromboelastometry are seen from diagnosis to 24 hours post-surgery

Time frame
First 24 hours after surgery
2

Differences in incidence of pathogens and the relation with disease severity

To evaluate the effect of different pathogens (evaluated by laboratory results) on the clinical status

Time frame
Up to 30 days
