Registry study for people with heart valve infection needing surgery
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study keeps a detailed record of adults with infective endocarditis (a serious heart valve infection) who are undergoing cardiac surgery. The information may help doctors understand patterns of care and outcomes, and improve future treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You have infective endocarditis and your doctors are planning cardiac surgery
- A heart-team assessment matches the study’s diagnosis rules (the Duke criteria)
- You can sign a consent form to join the study
- You are not currently enrolled in another interventional treatment trial

Other trials that look related to this one.
This is an observational study that follows people with confirmed infective endocarditis (a serious infection of the heart lining or heart valves). It may help doctors better understand the illness and improve care.
This study looks at the types of bacteria living on heart valves removed during surgery. Researchers want to learn more about these bacteria to better understand heart valve health and infections.
This is a study that collects information from people who are having a minimally invasive procedure to close a leak around a heart valve replacement device. It may help doctors better understand how well this procedure works and what outcomes to expect.
This study gathers information from patients with a heart infection called endocarditis to help doctors better understand and treat the condition. Anyone aged 16 or older with confirmed or suspected endocarditis who is being treated at Barts Heart Centre may be able to join.
This study looks at blood and other lab test results (“biomarkers”) to better predict what may happen to people with infective endocarditis, a serious infection of the heart lining or heart valves. Your information may help doctors estimate risk and choose care more safely and effectively.
This study follows adults with leaky or narrowed heart valves who are being considered for a valve procedure. It helps doctors better understand patient outcomes and care decisions for these valve problems.
