Recent outcomes of surgical redo aortic valve replacement in prosthetic valve failure

CONCLUSIONS: The relatively high risk of redo AVR was due to reoperation for prosthetic valve endocarditis. The outcomes of redo AVR for non-endocarditis are excellent. Our findings suggest that patients without endocarditis, especially with acceptable LVEF, can be treated safely with redo AVR.PMID:38442916 | DOI:10.1055/a-2281-1897
