Original Kurzfassung:
Surgical management of PVE patients is often challenging, the
infection may damage the surrounding tissue and aggressive debridement
is mandatory, often leading to severe defects of the outflow tract requiring
complex reconstructive procedures.The type of prosthesis, surgical technique
used, and type of infection can also affect the success of the operation.
Additionally, there is an increased risk of recurrent infections with repeated
surgical interventions, which can make the decision to operate challenging in
some cases.
