Zusammenfassung der Studie

In cases of severe bacterial inflammation of one or more heart valves, in addition to drug therapy with antibiotics, heart surgery is also necessary in severe cases. Such a severe infection/inflammation affects the activity of the immune system. Additionally, during heart surgery, various factors also lead to a generalized inflammatory response that activates the immune system, but through regulatory mechanisms also leads to a reduction/suppression of immune system activity. For some time now, there has been an already approved and frequently used blood filter, which is applied during the operation and is supposed to positively influence the immune system by filtering out unwanted signaling substances. However, there are no studies that have demonstrated a direct effect of this filter on the immune system. Our goal is to observe any effects.

Untersuchte Intervention

Before the operation, it is decided by lottery which patients will also have the filter used during the operation. The other half of the patients is treated and operated on in exactly the same way, but without this filter.
