First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated Jun 13, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study looked at whether people who had heart surgery for endocarditis (a serious heart infection) related to IV drug use could safely switch from IV antibiotics to oral pills after just two weeks. The goal was to see if this shorter hospital stay was safe and effective. The study was stopped early after enrolling only 5 participants, so no firm conclusions can be drawn.
