What are the outcomes and factors influencing survival in patients undergoing reoperation after failure of mitral valve repair for degenerative disease?
Reoperation after failed mitral valve repair for degenerative disease can be performed with good outcomes and survival in experienced hands.
Background: With an increasing number of patients undergoing mitral valve repair, more patients are presenting for reoperation. This study aimed to evaluate factors influencing mortality and survival of patients undergoing reoperation for mitral valve surgery after previous mitral valve repair under a single surgeon. Methods: We retrospectively collected data from 117 patients who underwent reoperation after previous mitral valve repair between 2010 and 2022. We aimed to identify preoperative, operative, and postoperative factors affecting outcomes. The primary outcome was overall survival, and the secondary outcomes included prolonged hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. The mean follow-up was 9.13 ± 10.36 years (median, 6.50 years). Results: = .02). Conclusions: Our single surgeon experience demonstrates that mitral valve reoperation after a previous repair is associated with good outcomes and survival.
