Key result
Reoperation for aortic pathologies after previous cardiac surgery carried a 32% mortality rate, with older age and prolonged perfusion times significantly increasing the risk of death.

Çetin Murat Songur (2013) conducted an observational in Aortic pathologies after cardiac surgery (n=50). Reoperation for aortic pathologies was evaluated on Total mortality. Reoperation for aortic pathologies after previous cardiac surgery carried a 32% mortality rate, with older age and prolonged perfusion times significantly increasing the risk of death.
