Key result
A simplified surgical approach for aortic valve replacement after previous CABG resulted in an early mortality of 10.5% and a 5-year survival rate of 81%.

No
A simplified surgical approach for redo AVR after CABG, avoiding internal thoracic artery dissection and using mild-to-moderate hypothermia, yields acceptable early and late survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports simplified redo AVR feasibility in selected patients; extends observational data but remains hypothesis-generating without randomized confirmation.
Vistarini et al. (2009) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve replacement after previous coronary artery bypass grafting (n=57). Simplified surgical approach (open IMA technique, anterograde cardioplegia, mild-to-moderate hypothermia, minimal dissection) was evaluated on Early mortality. A simplified surgical approach for aortic valve replacement after previous CABG resulted in an early mortality of 10.5% and a 5-year survival rate of 81%.
