BACKGROUND: The optimal choice of the valve prosthesis in mitral valve replacement (MVR) for infective endocarditis (IE) is controversial and challenging, particularly for younger patients.

HYPOTHESIS: The postoperative outcomes of mechanical and biological MVR in IE patients aged 50 to 69 years are different.

METHODS: All IE patients aged 50 to 69 years with primary MVR in Hubei province hospitals from 2002 to 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The median duration of follow-up was 8.7 years (IQR, 6.8-10.9 years). Propensity score matching (1:3 ratio) was used to yield 492 patients with comparable baseline features between bioprostheses and mechanical prosthetic valve groups. Outcomes were postoperative mid- to long- term survival, mitral valve reoperation, prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), stroke, and major bleeding events.

RESULTS: Fifteen-year survival after MVR was 80.6% in the mechanical valve group and 69.3% in the bioprostheses group (HR 0.545, P = .040). The cumulative incidence of mitral valve reoperation was 8.8% with mechanical valves and 21.4% with bioprostheses (HR 0.260, P = .002). The cumulative incidence of PVE was 5.6% with mechanical valves and 7.2% with bioprostheses (HR 0.629, P = .435). The cumulative incidence of stroke was 12.9% with mechanical valves and 10.5% with bioprostheses (HR 1.217, P = .647). The cumulative incidence of major bleeding was 12.0% with mechanical valves and 6.75% with bioprostheses (HR 1.579, P = .268).

CONCLUSIONS: Mechanical valve prostheses were associated with better survival, lower rates of reoperation compared with bioprostheses within 15 years after MVR in IE patients aged 50 to 69. These findings suggest mechanical valve prostheses may be a more reasonable alternative to bioprostheses in this patient group.
