Observational (n=91)
What are the mortality rates and long-term clinical outcomes in patients undergoing multiple valve replacement?
Multiple valve replacement is associated with acceptable early and late mortality rates, with long-term rehabilitation outcomes approaching those seen in single valve replacement.
Allen I. Midell (1972) conducted an observational in Multiple valve disease (n=91). Multiple valve replacement was evaluated on Early hospital mortality. Multiple valve replacement was associated with 12% early hospital mortality and 11% late mortality, with over 95% of survivors achieving highly satisfactory long-term rehabilitation.
