Key result
Surgical video demonstrates redo mechanical AVR highlighting guideline recommendations for patients under 60 years.
This video presentation demonstrates the technical details of performing a redo aortic valve replacement in a patient with a thrombosed mechanical prosthesis.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Video case aids redo AVR technique training; leaves open comparative valve durability data in patients <60.
Current consensus guidelines of the AHA and ESC, uniformly recommend either type of prosthetic valve for patients aged 60 to 70 years and mechanical prosthesis for patients aged less than 60 years
