Unfortunately, the role of surgery in the patient with endocarditis, including the indication, timing and type of surgery continues to be plagued by controversy. Although surgery has an important and established role in critically ill patients with endocarditis, the choice between medical therapy and surgery is often less clear cut and poses a major challenge to the physician treating this condition.
