Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 years 2. Hospitalised for management of a cardiac infection (infective endocarditis or cardiovascular implantable electronic device infections) 3. Gram-positive organism identified in blood or tissue culture, that in the opinion of the investigator is the cause of cardiac infection and would be treatable with a finite antibiotic duration (e.g., 4-6 weeks) 4. Afebrile for at least 24 hours at screening 5. Clearance of blood cultures for at least 24 hours at screening 6. Receiving effective antibiotic therapy for at least 24 hours and no more than 14 days at screening 7. Willingness of both treating provider and participant to proceed with oritavancin therapy 8. Able to provide written informed consent 9. Willingness and ability to participate in study procedures, including follow-up visits and drug monitoring Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of severe allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to oritavancin or any of its components 2. Severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m²) or currently receiving dialysis 3. Severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh class C) 4. Current infection involving the central nervous system, including septic emboli, ischemic or haemorrhagic stroke, epidural abscess, or meningitis (excluding prior/unrelated central nervous system events). 5. Presence of prosthetic heart valve 6. Culture negative endocarditis 7. Presence of any other active infection requiring concurrent antibiotic treatment that could interfere with study outcomes 8. Infection with Gram positive organism not susceptible to oritavancin or vancomycin (vancomycin MIC \> 2 μg/mL). 9. Use of contraindicated medications (see Section 8) 10. Participation in another interventional clinical trial that may confound study outcomes 11. Pregnant or breastfeeding people, or those planning to become pregnant during the study period (people of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test during hospitalization and use effective contraception for trial duration and for 3 months after last infusion of study medication). 12. Immunosuppression (defined as active chemotherapy expected to cause absolute neutrophil count \<100 cells/mm3 lasting \>7 days during the study period, bone marrow transplantation in the preceding 90 days, solid organ transplantation within prior 3 months or receipt of augmented immunosuppression for rejection within 3 months, chronic granulomatous disease, HIV with a CD4 count \<50 cells/mm3 based on last known measure). 13. Any condition (e.g. severe cognitive impairment, psychiatric illness, active withdrawal) that, in the opinion of the investigator, would limit the participant's ability to comply with study procedures or give informed consent 14. Medically unstable in opinion of treating clinician that would preclude participation 15. Cases in which the investigator deem curative or finite antibiotic treatment unlikely (e.g., long term indefinite suppressive antibiotics are likely such as retained hardware).
