Perioperative risk of redo aortic valve replacement.

BACKGROUND To evaluate the perioperative risk of redo aortic valve replacement (AVR). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-three patients (53 males, 10 females) underwent redo AVR from 2001-2005. Forty-one bioprostheses had to be replaced for degeneration and/or paravalvular leakage, and 18 mechanical prostheses were changed because of thrombosis and/or paravalvular leakage. Four patients with a bicus...
