pubmed:abstractText |
Embolism is a dreaded complication of infective endocarditis (IE). Currently, antimicrobial therapy is the only medical intervention proven to decrease the risk of embolism associated with IE. We hypothesized that, because platelet aggregation is operative in the pathogenesis of vegetation formation, embolism associated with IE should occur less frequently among patients who have received prior, continuous daily antiplatelet therapy for noninfectious reasons.
