Key result
Multiple valve replacement is not linked to incremental operative mortality per additional valve replaced.
Why the study?
Does multiple valve replacement increase mortality incrementally with each valve replaced in patients with multiple valvular deformities?

Does multiple valve replacement increase mortality incrementally with each valve replaced in patients with multiple valvular deformities?
Multiple valve replacement does not necessarily carry incremental operative mortality per valve replaced, though late mortality remains a concern requiring long-term follow-up.
Edward J. Hurley (1967) conducted an observational in Multivalvular disease. Multiple valve replacement was evaluated on Mortality. Multiple valve replacement was not associated with incremental operative mortality for each additional valve replaced, though late mortality indicates a need for long-term care.
