Long-term results of surgery for endocarditis in the pulmonary position.

Operation	Date of Surgery	Relapse of Infection	Other Complications	General Condition	Status of the Valve Substitute, Echocardiogram Results
Replacement of pulmonary valve with a biological prosthesis	2014	absent	none	good	valve prosthesis is unremarkable, function is good
Replacement of pulmonary artery valve and aortic valve with biological prostheses	2011	absent	none	satisfactory, mild angina, diabetes	function of the prostheses is good, anatomy is unremarkable
Replacement of infected pulmonary artery allograft with a new conduit	2003	absent	none	good	allograft is unremarkable, function is good, systolic gradient of 30 mm Hg
Right ventricle infundibulectomy. Replacement of pulmonary valve with an allograft	2003				unknown
Replacement of infected pulmonary allograft by a new one and replacement of neo-aortic valve with a mechanical prosthesis	2004	absent	none	good	function of aortic prosthesis and pulmonary allograft is unremarkable
Removal of multiple vegetations of the right ventricle, closure of ventricular septal defect, replacement of pulmonary trunk with an allograft	2004	repeated exacerbations of septic status	continuous preoperative renal insufficiency (on peritoneal dialysis)	poor	no impairment of the valves revealed; late death because of sepsis
Replacement of infected pulmonary artery allograft with a Shelhigh xenograft	2006	absent	none	good	stenosis and calcification of the graft, systolic gradient of 64 mm Hg.
