Abstract：Infective endocarditis (IE) remains a severe and life-threatening disease, with rising incidence and a particularly high mortality rate, especially among elderly patients.[1] While antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment, the success rate in left-sided IE is often limited, as nearly half of all patients eventually require surgical intervention for definitive management.
