Surgical treatment is a potentially lifesaving treatment and is required in nearly 50% of patients (2). Indications for surgery are well defined in guidelines (3,4) but there is a lack of recommendations about the time when it must be done and, in general terms, prognosis is better if surgery is undertaken in the acute or active phase of IE, before cardiac tissue destruction takes place.},
