Baseline and Outcome Characteristics of Multiple Valve Surgery Compared with Single Valve Procedures in Mainland China: A Multicenter Experience.

CONCLUSION: Baseline characteristics and epidemiology were different between MUV and single-valve procedures. The in-hospital mortality and postoperative complications for MUV procedures remained considerably higher and determinants of mortality were relatively different across procedures types. These findings serve as a benchmark for further studies, as well as suggest a continued search for explanations of MUV outcomes. PMID: 31895035 [PubMed - in process]
