Joanna L Stephens et al. J Card Surg. 2016 May.

Abstract

Early-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis is a serious complication of valve replacement. We present two cases of early-onset prosthetic valve endocarditis caused by species of the anaerobic organism Prevotella, and discuss the issue of dental extraction prior to valve surgery. doi: 10.1111/jocs.12732 (J Card Surg 2016;31:321-323).
