In nonoperated prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE), long-term outcome is largely unknown. We report the follow-up of 129 nonoperated patients with PVE alive at discharge. At 1 year, the mortality rate was 24%; relapses and reinfection were rare (5% each). Enterococcal PVE was associated with a higher risk of relapse.
