Among 302 episodes with prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), one-year mortality was 31%. There was no evidence indicating that early-onset PVE within 6 months from valve surgery led to a worse outcome compared to late-onset PVE (21% versus 32%; p=0.126), despite similar redo valve surgeries across both categories.
