Key result
Redo aortic valve replacement after previous CABG demonstrated an operative mortality of 6.1% (95% CI 2.9-12.0%), suggesting open surgical technique remains a safe and reliable approach.

Does redo surgical aortic valve replacement after previous CABG result in acceptable mortality compared to STS-predicted risk?
Redo surgical aortic valve replacement after previous CABG is a safe and reliable approach, with actual operative mortality lower than STS-predicted risk.
Dobrilovic et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Aortic valve replacement after previous coronary artery bypass grafting (n=132). Redo aortic valve replacement vs. STS-predicted risk scores was evaluated on Operative (30-day + hospital) mortality (95% CI 2.9-12.0). Redo aortic valve replacement after previous CABG demonstrated an operative mortality of 6.1% (95% CI 2.9-12.0%), suggesting open surgical technique remains a safe and reliable approach.
