Early surgery or medical treatment in endocarditis complicated by embolism from a large, mobile vegetation? A case-based discussion.

Patients with endocarditis who present after embolism from a large, mobile vegetation pose a clinical dilemma: should they be managed with early surgery with the aim of preventing further emboli, or should a medical strategy be employed that avoids the morbidity and mortality associated with surgery but which risks further emboli? The management of such a patient is discussed in the context of the published literature regarding embolic risk in endocarditis.
