Surgery in <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> Infective Endocarditis: <i>Clinical Outcomes, Neurological Sequelae, and Prognostic Implications</i>.

ABSTRACT: Background:Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis (SA-IE) is believed to provoke higher rates of complications compared to other organisms that commonly cause IE (non-SA-IE). We believe that Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) has a high propensity to cause embolic events and cerebrovascular neurological complications. Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective analysis, encompassing 529 patients who had undergone valve surgery for IE. Patients were divided according to causative microorganism into SA-IE and non-SA-IE groups. Subsequently, analyses of outcome differences between the two groups were performed, with a focus on neurological complications. Results: In the examined population, 128 (24.2%) had IE mediated by S. aureus
