Abstract
Abstract Multivalve endocarditis with triple valve involvement is a rare phenomenon and presents a unique management challenge to physicians given the paucity of summative analyses. Google Scholar and PubMed databases were searched for terms related to triple-valve endocarditis (TVE). Articles published up until December 31, 2023, were included. We identified 41 published cases of triple-valve endocarditis. The most common source of infection was dental/oral (n = 10). Streptococcus spp was the most common organism isolated (n = 15), followed by Staphylococcus organisms (n = 9). Surgical intervention occurred in 65.9% (n = 27) of cases, and the most common surgery was valve replacement (n = 24) followed by valve repair (n = 10). Endocarditis complications included valvular insufficiency (n = 33) and heart failure (n = 15). Most patients were discharged from the hospital (n = 26), but there were 10 in-hospital deaths and 4 discharged to hospice care.
