Outcomes of redo pulmonary valve replacement for bioprosthetic pulmonary valve failure in 61 patients with congenital heart disease

摘要

OBJECTIVES: Although all bioprostheses used for pulmonary valve (PV) replacement (PVR) are prone to failure and will require redo PVR, data pertaining to the outcomes of this procedure are lacking. The objective of this study was to evaluate outcomes of redo PVR for bioprosthetic PV failure in patients with congenital heart disease.
